WHEREAS, San Diego Metropolitan Transit System desires to relocate an

a total of 100 feet of red curb "No Parking" to accommodate up to two buses at a time; and

approximately 45 feet of red curb "No Parking" into "unrestricted" parking at the current bus stop
on westbound Plaza Boulevard at B Avenue, which is in front of an apartment complex where
parking is in high demand; and

Boulevard at B Avenue (far side of intersection) to westbound Plaza Boulevard at National City
Boulevard (near side of intersection), and to improve bus service to National City residents and
visitors, staff recommends the following:
