Eighteen senior residents living at Town Park Villas will be forced to move, since two of the buildings are being demolished at the senior apartment community at 4633 Governor Drive. Property manager Willmark Communities Inc. plans to build two new two-story buildings at the same site. Willmark Communities representatives updated the University Community Planning Group (UCPG) at its Jan. 12 meeting. Willmark has already tweaked its design plans to build two stories instead of three in response to UCPG concerns. Now the group is concerned that Willmark does not plan to install elevators in its new buildings, although the apartments will be rented to seniors. Willmark will return to the UCPG with an update in April or May. Willmark has offered to pay to relocate its residents within Town Park Villas and to cut the first month’s rent in half. In other University City news: • The Super Loop bus service has made traveling around University City more convenient and the number of riders has exceeded expectations. The noise from the hybrid engine regenerating itself has begun to drive residents of Gilman Drive crazy, however. San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), which is responsible for the new bus system, has effectively made the engines nine decibels quieter but activists say it hasn’t diminished the intermittent high-pitched shriek of the hybrid engine, according to activist Dale Disharoon. • Residents around Via Sonoma in University City have called Sprint/Clearwire asking for increased cell phone service to cover spotty areas. And a few neighbors living on Via Sonoma objected to the visual blight of installing three new antennas and a flat dish on the street. So, the UCPG asked Sprint/Clearwire to consider installing the equipment at the nearby La Jolla Village Square commercial center, and to return with more information at the February meeting. UCPG makes recommendations on University City land- use issues to City Council. UCPG meets the second Tuesday of each month at 6 p.m. at the University Town Centre Forum Hall above Wells Fargo Bank at 4315 La Jolla Village Drive.
