Community and business leaders and property owners from Pacific Beach attended the Thursday, April 12 MTS board of directors meeting to request that the MTS board agendize a formal action item at their next regularly scheduled board meeting to discuss the relocation of the Tuesday Farmer’s Market from Bayard Street to Garnet Avenue. “[MTS] is last impediment to actually get this done,” said Laura Ambrose, longtime resident and business owner in Pacific Beach.
MTS Board Chair Georgette Gomez, said, “We’re going to be connecting with MTS staff as well as city staff just to figure out just where things are at; I’m not sure if this item will be agendize for next month.”
District 2 Councilmember Lorie Zapf, added, “I would like to see a robust information or possible action item on all of the logistics, all of the various alternatives, and all of the information that has been discussed with staff.”
The community of Pacific Beach thanks and looks forward to working with the MTS board of directors and MTS staff to find a viable solution towards the goal of a vibrant and prominent farmer’s market on Pacific Beach’s main street, according to Sara Berns, executive director of Discover PB.
