San Diego has a multi-billion dollar backlog of infrastructure projects: sewers, sidewalks, parks, potholes and fire and police stations. We may live in "America's Finest City" -- but much of it is beginning to crumble under our feet due to lack of attention and funding.

Mark is committed to Rebuilding San Diego, making it a better place to live and do business. As chair of the Council's Infrastructure Committee, he is leading the charge to improve San Diego's deteriorating roads, sidewalks, storm drains, parks and libraries. His proposed June 2016 Rebuild San Diego ballot measure (PDF) would create a dedicated stream of funding for infrastructure and secure up to $4-5 billion over the next 30 years.

The City's backlog of infrastructure needs continue to increase, now at a staggering $1 billion plus price tag. Mark's leadership is helping create a better picture of the issue through the funding of never-before-done assessments of key assets like sidewalks and parks and recreation facilities that are helping us hone in on a more accurate number.
