The proposed route would swap Third Street, a two-lane residential street with several dips, with Ninth Street, a four-lane street with no dips.
The San Diego Metropolitan Transit System is considering rerouting a portion of an express line in Imperial Beach, following a monthslong debate about public safety, nuisances in residential areas and access to public transportation within the small coastal community. Rapid 227 enters city limits through Imperial Beach Boulevard, then runs north on Third Street and loops back to the boulevard via Palm Avenue and Seacoast Drive.
” Another resident said he was fed up with buses passing by his home at night and lighting up his living room every 15 minutes. Ilian Sandoval, who also lives on Third Street, said the buses aren’t so bad and that the service is far too important to get rid of it. “I, myself, grew up dependent on public transportation,” she said. “The only reason I was able to make it to college, to get my college degree that helped me get out of poverty, was the bus.” Gibran Sanchez agreed.
