SANDAG’s Coleen Clementson and landscape architect Vicki Estrada will discuss the state of San Diego’s transportation systems and how they figure into the urban design of the region. We’ll learn about SANDAG’s latest thinking on a rail link to the airport, future trolley lines, bike paths, ridesharing, autonomous vehicles, teleportation (just kidding), and how urban design figures into the whole. As moderator Mike Stepner says, “Everything’s connected.”
Coleen Clementson is SANDAG’s Deputy Chief Executive Officer. Duties include implementation of the agency’s regional transportation plan, developing a third border crossing, creating a rail link to the airport and upgrading the San Diego-San Luis Obispo rail corridor. She also works to address the region’s “digital divide.” With more than 20 years’ experience in public sectdor planning, Coleen is immediate pasts president of the California Planning Roundtable, a group of public and private sector American Planning Association members that provide leadership to create health, prosperous and equitable communities.
