SANDAG APPROVES FUNDS FOR I-5 DEVELOPMENT The San Diego Association of
Governments (SANDAG) Board of Directors announced Oct. 17 they had approved the $56.3 mil- lion cost to widen the I-5/Gen- esee interchange. SANDAG was able to move up the schedule for the I-5/Genesee interchange and widening project because of its success in competing for Proposition 1B money to cover the cost of other transportation infrastructure projects in the region. Money from Proposition 1B freed TransNet funds. Trans- Net is a local half-cent sales tax
