The public is encouraged to participate in the first public meeting of the De Anza Revitalization Plan, which will take place Wednesday, Dec. 9 at 6 p.m. in the Mission Bay Senior High School Cafeteria, at 2475 Grand Ave.  
The planning area includes the De Anza mobile home park property along with De Anza Cove, the golf course, tennis club, sports fields and boat club.
Longtime Pacific Beach Planning Group (PBPG) member Scott Chipman told Pacific Beach Town Council (PBTC) in July during a presentation to that group that the entire community ought to begin planning immediately for the Mission Bay Gateway Project now that the De Anza Cove lawsuit has finally been settled and mobile home owners there will be moving out. 
Chipman has been lobbying for years to get public attention redirected back to the long-term redevelopment project. 
The Mission Bay Gateway Project seeks to connect and enhance existing facilities while also expanding and protecting the Mission Bay marshlands and bird sanctuaries. Bike paths and parks could be extended, and new amenities like pools, sports fields and a restaurant could be added for the community and visitors to enjoy.
