GAG library to be established. Site to be determined later.
Tierrasanta Blvd. extension discussed. This extension used to be in plans, but disappeared. GAG voted unanimously to favor the Tierrasanta Blvd. extension due to safety concerns (Cedar Fires) and traffic congestion relief for Friars/Mission Gorge. Grantville redevelopment plan should automatically be cancelled if it does include the Tierrasanta Blvd. extension. GAG official wording voted upon: The Grantville Action Group resolved that to improve traffic flow, correct safety issues, and facilitate the enhancement of Grantville, an extension of Princess View Drive to Tierrasanta Blvd. must be constructed. Grantville redevelopment must not proceed unless this vital link is completed. The Grantville Action Group resolves that we will work for the promotion, construction, and completion of this roadway.
