To help everyone better understand how we got to this point, we’ve assembled this FAQ.

Despite years of collaboration, design charrettes, and a widely supported consensus plan, the San Diego Unified School District is starting over on the redevelopment of the Brucker Education Center. A new “listening session” is scheduled for April 28, but many in University Heights see this not as the beginning—but a dismissal of seven years of community-driven planning. With over 173 survey responses backing the AVRP/Community Consensus Plan, residents are urging SDUSD to honor the work already done—not “let the market decide.” Join the conversation and help shape a future that respects both workforce housing needs and neighborhood character.

In “The Brucker Site: Past, Present, and Future” on the front page, Kristin Harms and Bill Ellig have given us a comprehensive (and excellent) summary of how we got to this point today.
