NBC 7: New Details Emerge Behind Project That Placed Rocks Below Overpass

NBC 7 has learned the motive for placing rocks below an underpass near downtown San Diego may have been to clear the area of homeless people before Padres games at Petco Park this season.

City Councilmember David Alvarez for District 8 said his office was never notified of this project and no lights were ever installed.

“The unfortunate thing about this project is, while the rocks were installed, there were no lights. So what the community was actually asking for has not occurred,” Alvarez said.
