The Board of Supervisors Wednesday unanimously voted to have county staff pursue the formation of a special financing district for the proposed 130-mile San Diego River Park and Trail.
County Parks and Recreation staff members recommended an enhanced infrastructure financing district -- which doesn't require new taxes or a ballot measure -- that generates revenue based on partnerships with city governments and related boundaries.
Board Chairman Nathan Fletcher said making the park a reality has been a challenge due to economic conditions and jurisdictional issues. Other groups advocating for a park trail system include San Diego Councilman Raul Campillo, Mayor Todd Gloria, the Kumeyaay Diegueno Land Conservancy, San Diego River Park Foundation, San Diego River Conservancy and San Diego Regional Task Force on the Homeless.
Supervisor Joel Anderson said it was also important to address the issue of homeless people living near the river bed and help them -- otherwise, residents may not want to walk on the trails.
