San Diego's true colors shined bright during Monday's hours-long debate over whether to approve the contentious Plaza de Panama plan.
The proposed renovations of the Balboa Park area include the construction of a bypass road off of the Cabrillo Bridge an 800-space underground paid parking lot.
Planners expect that the renovations will cost about $40 million, with $25 of that pledged by Qualcomm Founder Irwin Jacobs, and the rest from the revenue raised by parking fees.
