Tidelands Avenue Electric Truck Hub
The Port of San Diego presented its 70-truck electric charging hub at 19th and Tidelands. Most speakers supported it for cleaner air and union jobs; Mayor Morrison pressed hard on lithium battery fire risk and the site being upwind of the dense Westside. Formal council action is expected June 30.
Air Pollution and APCD Representation
Multiple speakers blasted Councilmember Bush's May 14 vote against starting an indirect source rule to cut warehouse truck pollution; he defended the vote, citing staff analysis, legal risk and delays to National City's own air filter program.
