Top issues during term (19)(Parks Rec)
Mission Bay Park Improvements Program
No cost for this action itself — projects will be funded later through the Mission Bay Park Improvement Fund from lease revenues.
Mira Mesa Community Park reopening
About $55 million in city investment, funded largely through developer fees under the former FBA program.
Balboa Park Paid Parking Repeal
Free parking means the city gives up roughly $7-10 million a year starting in 2028.

About $555,000 in opportunity funds are being allocated this year — a 38% jump — but District 8's share is a fraction of neighboring districts'.
Boston Avenue Linear Park funding
No city cost for the land, and the transfer unlocks $29.5 million in state grant funding including $3.9 million for park construction.
