- - - - - NEWS FROM BARBARA BOXER, UNITED STATES SENATOR FROM CALIFORNIA - - - - - January 13, 2010
Dear Friend:
I recently had the pleasure of visiting an important and exciting project that is putting hundreds of San Diegans to work. Funded largely by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the State Route 905 project is creating about 1,400 jobs in San Diego County while providing an essential freeway connection to move people and goods across the U.S.-Mexico border to access international, regional, and local markets.
Completion of the six-lane SR 905 project will connect vital interstate routes to the Otay Mesa Port of Entry, the only commercial vehicle crossing between San Diego and Tijuana. Currently, SR 905 runs along Otay Mesa Road, a city street, where vehicles and trucks mix, often creating accidents. This project is expected to reduce vehicle accidents rates by 50% by freeing up Otay Mesa Road for local passenger vehicles and segregating truck traffic onto SR 905.
I have been a supporter of the SR 905 project for many years. In the mid-1990s I came to Otay Mesa to announce SR-905’s first federal funding. Now SR 905 has been awarded over $74 million from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Touring the site with key local officials including San Diego County Supervisor Greg Cox, San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders, and Escondido Mayor (and SANDAG Chair) Lori Holt-Pfeiler, I saw how those dollars are having a real impact in San Diego.
By the time it is completed, the SR 905 project is expected to create an estimated 1,400 jobs – and Caltrans estimates as many as 500 people are at work right now in support of this crucial project.
More than 2 million trucks passed through the California/Baja California Ports of Entry in 2005, with more than 70% of that traffic through Otay Mesa alone. This figure is expected to double by 2020. Keeping those goods flowing swiftly, safely and smoothly is crucial to keeping San Diego’s economy moving forward.
The SR 905 project is a great example of Recovery dollars putting Californians to work, rebuilding vital infrastructure, and laying the foundation for a more prosperous future. You can count on me to keep up my efforts to create good jobs, update our key public facilities, and make improvements to the transportation system that will help move people and goods more efficiently.

The I-905 project will only widen the freeway to allow thousands of Mexican trucks to carry Mexican products here...eating away at the American workers jobs that used to produce that produce here, and softening the border. Noone I know supports it. The work being done, of course, is all union. More fucking whore-mongering being done by California's whore Senator. She even has the balls to have a link to the pictures of Herself down here pimping her Nafta/Cafta pet project. |

first of all.... campaign contributions are at the root of this problem...... these bribes leave the politicians with ZERO reason to be non-bias and 100% result in a conflict of interest..... the unions are always big campaign contributors......... I always hear people talk about what limits/monetary maximums to put on campaign contributions..... I've got a radical(see common sense) solution to this issue..... how bout allowing ZERO campaign contributions........if u wanna run for office.... do it on your own fukin dime. |

You're absolutely right MWR. This road will not be used to export to Mexico, but import from Mexico. Therefore, it will benefit the job markets in Mexico more in the long run, than it will the USA.
As for the 1,400 jobs, I'm pretty skeptical of that number. For the sake of argument, lets say that it's true. That's 1,400 temporary jobs in a market that needs real, permanent, long term jobs based on private sector growth. When the government job market grows at a faster rate than the private sector, you come up short on tax revenue and grow the deficit.
The final problem is that this project is federally funded right now, but once the project is complete it will be up to California to maintain it. They have enough budget problems. I don't see how increasing the accessibility to imported goods, and increasing the highway maintenance obligations are going to benefit anyone long term. Well...maybe Mexico and the Unions. Does that sound like she is serving her constituents? |

I can't believe California replaced on terrible governor with Awnuld. The amazing thing is that he gets re-elected. |
