agreement with SDT for Route 32 service effective September ll, 1983.
National City will continue to contract with SDT for Route 29. The National
City Council action on Route 32 means that Chula Vista has to decide where to
terminate Route 32 in Chula Vista. Two options were looked at regardin9 the
future alignment of Route 32, and for providing transit service on Broadway in
Chula Vista north of "H" Street. Option A terminates Route 32 at the "H"
Street Trolley Station and realigns CVT Routes 702 and 705 to provide service
on Broadway between "H" and "E" Streets. Under Option B, Route 32 operates to
"D" Street and no change is made to CVT routes. It is recommended that
Council accept this report and approve Option A.
