Airline coalition
likes Miramar site
A coalition of commercial passenger and cargo airlines said yesterday it supports Miramar Air Station as a potential replacement for Lindbergh Field, the question that voters face Tuesday in Proposition A.
The statement by the Airline Airport Affairs Committee said replacing Lindbergh “is primarily a local decision,” and it does not explicitly urge a yes vote. But “as its primary users,” the group says, “the airlines have a significant stake in its location.”
The committee said it would need to see a specific development plan before assessing the economic feasibility of Miramar as a commercial airport. The county Regional Airport Authority hasn't gotten that far yet, saying it needs to first open a dialogue with the military.
Miramar is appropriate for consideration, “given its location, size and existing infrastructure,” the committee said.

Repairs may delay
trolley service
San Diego Trolley track repair downtown may delay service between tonight and Sunday morning, transit officials said.
Work along Park Boulevard will reduce the trolley to single-track operations between City College and the 12th and Imperial Transit Station, with delays of up to 10 minutes in either direction.
The work begins tonight at 9:45 and is expected to be finished by 7 a.m. Sunday. Repairs will replace the westbound track and adjust the overhead catenary wire.
