THE STREAMLINE WATCH — ABC 10News brings you The Streamline for Thursday, May 21 -- everything you need to know in under 10 minutes: The Streamline: Thursday, May 21 TOP STORY In a significant policy shift, San Diego city officials on Wednesday announced plans to scale back trash collection fees and eliminate paid parking at Balboa Park. The change to the trash fees stems from a lawsuit filed by several residents, but a tentative settlement was reached earlier this week.
Previously, trash pickup for city residents could cost as much as $55 per month. Under the new agreement, the fee will drop to roughly $39 per month starting July 1, 2027.
In addition, parking at Balboa Park will be free for everyone beginning in early 2027. City Councilmember Stephen Whitburn said the delayed timeline for implementing the changes will help the city maintain services in the meantime.
"You have seen the challenges we are facing in meeting the budget demands of the next fiscal year. Were we to reduce the trash fees immediately, we would have had to explore increasing fees elsewhere or cutting services elsewhere,” he told the media. The settlement also removes the possibility of these issues appearing on the November ballot.
Mayor Todd Gloria issued a statement, saying, “The settlement is a compromise that resolves multiple existing threats that could have forced more than $150 million in additional cuts. To reach this agreement, both sides had to make concessions.
It is not perfect or ideal, but my responsibility is to protect what matters most for San Diegans, and on the whole, this agreement does that by protecting San Diegans from far deeper cuts to essential services like police, fire protection, libraries, and parks. ” The City Council is scheduled to formally vote on the deal June 8.
