City Council District 9 Candidates Debate
Wednesday, May 9, 2012
College Rolando Library
6600 Montezuma Road
Meeting Starts at 7:00 p.m.
Debate: Approximately 7:15 to 8:00 p.m.
The public is invited!
Last year, San Diego City Council district boundaries were redrawn in accordance with the 2010 Census. As part of the transition to a strong mayor form of government, a ninth district was added. The College Area, formerly in District 7, is now in District 9. The northern border of the new district is Interstate 8, and includes the following community planning areas: College Area, part of the Eastern Area (Rolando and El Cerrito), Keninsgton-Talmadge, City Heights, and part of Southeastern San Diego (including the communities of Mt. Hope, Mountain View and Southcrest). The culturally-diverse district is just over 50% Latino, making it the City's second Latino-influence district (along with District 8). Click here to see a map of the new District 9.

Thank You! ... from the College Area BID
Thank you to everyone who came out to support local restaurant owners at the 2nd Annual College Area Taste on Sunday, April 15, 2012! About 300 people attended this four hour event that featured 24 local College Area restaurants.
It was nice to see Old Town Trolleys cruising our neighborhood bearing signs for the College Area Taste! Throughout the event the trolleys were filled with faces from Rolando, El Cerrito, the College Area, and new faces from outside the neighborhood. Several radio stations had a presence at local eateries to increase awareness of the event.
As people walking down the street waved and smiled at each other we were reminded of the reasons why we put on events like this. Our neighborhood, our residents, and our business owners all enjoy having a place to call their own and be proud of. For us, that's the College Area. Thanks for showing your support!
Jennifer Finnegan, Executive Director
College Area Business District,
P.O. Box 151176, San Diego, CA 92175-1176.
