Port of San Diego

On May 14th, during a special meeting, the Air Pollution Control District Governing Board voted (5-4) against developing a clean air rule - indirect source rule (ISR) - to reduce cancer-causing pollution from warehouses and distribution centers in San Diego.

Polluting industry came out in strong opposition to the clean air ISR. But community and allies also mobilized, sending over 400 emails in support of the ISR, holding a rally at the county building ahead of the vote, and testifying in support at the meeting.

While the motion ultimately failed, we thank Supervisor Paloma Aguirre, Doctor Anne Marie Birkbeck-Garcia, Georgette Gomez, and Paula Stigler Granados for voting to move the ISR process forward.

Board members who sided with polluters and voted no

San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria — No
National City Councilmember Marcus Bush — No
Santee Councilmember Laura Koval — No
Coronado Mayor John Duncan — No
Escondido Councilmember Judy Fitzgerald — No

Supervisor Terra Lawson-Remer and San Diego Councilmember Jennifer Campbell were absent from the meeting and did not vote.

Despite the setback, our community remains resilient and ready to continue fighting for a San Diego where all people live, work, and play in a clean and safe environment.

San Diego will retain incentive programs to persuade polluters to reduce emissions rather than regulate warehouses and distribution centers.

“We’re talking about 45 years to bring this park to Barrio Logan. So it’s exciting that we get to start the first phases of the park.”

Thanks to new funding from the California Strategic Growth Council, the empty lot along 29th Street and 32nd Street in Barrio Logan is on its way to becoming Boston Avenue Linear Park.

This project is a part of Rooted in Comunidad, Cultivating Equity (RICCE), a community-driven program to fund climate change-resilient projects that will preserve, protect, and strengthen San Diego’s Historic Barrios.

RICCE is supported by the California Strategic Growth Council’s Transformative Climate Communities Program in partnership with the California Department of Conservation.

After decades of waiting, one of Barrio Logan's biggest park projects moves forward after receiving state funding.
