I oppose the current plans for a bypass bridge and roadway to be built onto the historic Cabrillo Bridge in Balboa Park. The current proposal is extremely destructive and would forever alter the iconic Cabrillo Bridge and the historic landscape, and would hide important character defining features of the front entrance to this National Register District. The project also includes the removal of over 82 feet of the historic Cabrillo Bridge railing and lighting.
Balboa Park belongs to all the people of San Diego and it is the public who should decide its future.
I ask that the City of San Diego reject the current proposal.
Cabrillo Bridge is an icon of the park. It is almost inextricable with Museum of Man and the our newly reopened California Tower. As a native of this city, I really want you to know that Cabrillo bridge is part of San Diego's identity. Find a way to keep it as it is.
