As we are sure you have been informed, the San Diego City Council has approved a plan to collect revenues for Parking vehicles at the Balboa Park premises.
Included please find a chart (below)
This chart shows the parking locations and proposed fees. For our Balboa Park Activity Center (BPAC) location, there will be Parking Meters on the streets and Parking lots. Our closer lots are highlighted as “Lower (yellow) and Upper (green) Inspiration Point Parking”.
Lower Inspiration Point – Yellow – This is the lot to the right coming in from Park Boulevard (with the solar panels). Here you will be able to park free for 3 hours, but will be charged either $5/day if SD resident or $10/day if non-resident if you exceed the 3 hours. Your driver’s license address will determine your residency.
Upper Inspiration Point – Green – This is the parking lot to the left as you come in from Park Boulevard (closer to BPAC) and here, you will pay $5/day or $10/day depending on residency (no free hours at this parking lot).
There will be a City Council Meeting this Tuesday November 18th at 2:00PM ( @ 202 C street, San Diego CA 92101 on the 12th floor). During this meeting, all the parking options will be discussed.
We need to show SDTTA participation to try to influence and minimize the impact to our membership.
There is a proposal to pay a YEARLY Parking Pass fee of $150 for each resident or $300 for non-residents. These will be discussed during this meeting.
We strongly encourage all our members (everyone) to attend this meeting and participate in the process to minimize the financial impact to our SDTTA membership. Please come to participate and support all the organizations that utilize BPAC (Badminton, Volleyball, Pickleball and Table Tennis).
Looking forward to your attendance and active participation ,
