Staff Valle and Flores provided an overview of infrastructure plans in Chula Vista regarding the

Management Plan which ranked all facilities within the City including identifications of "red
assets" beyond repair, and Measure P which identifies an expenditure pian to upgrade the
facilities that were earmarked as "red assets". He fiirther explained that with the passage of
Measure P the City is hoping to get a bond issuance to move forward with the majority of
facility improvements within the next three years.
Members of the public expressed concern that lighting would not necessarily be
addressed through Measure P and staff indicated that existing lighting that is non-
functioning or dim can potentially be repaired and help with the lighting concerns. They
also indicated that there are other potential furiding sources to deal with the concerns and
residents should contact the Traffic Engineering Dept. and refer to the Asset Management
Plan to see if specific facilities would be upgraded. It was added that bike lanes would be
considered for any rehabilitation projects.
