Ruling Clears the Way for Thousands of Homes, Economic Revitalization of the Midway District

Midway Rising

San Diego voters twice approved the removal of the 30-foot height limit in the Midway-Pacific Highway district, recognizing that the height limit would stymie the redevelopment of the City’s 48-acre Sports Arena property.  

Last week, a judge ruled in favor of the City of San Diego by rejecting the latest legal challenge to the Measure C ballot measure.  

The ruling clears the way for the Midway Rising project to move forward and replace the decaying old Sports Arena and transform its underused parking lot into thousands of new homes, creating thousands of jobs and giving our local economy a major boost.  

This is a massive win for the people of San Diego, and I’m grateful to the City Attorney for their great work defending the will of the voters to see progress on this important economic revitalization.
