Shutterstock/Antonio Salaverry Eliminating the digital divide will require not only long-term planning and complex coordination but also novel approaches to networks, according to speakers during a Cisco-hosted online roundtable yesterday.
The event, titled “Building an Inclusive Future with Municipalities,” kicked off with comments from Antoinette Meier, director of mobility and innovation for the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG).

The regional planning board responsible for the infrastructure needs of San Diego County voted Friday to open negotiations with local labor leaders for an agreement that would ensure construction workers on future projects are paid union wages.
By a vote of 11-7, the board of directors of the San Diego Association of Governments, or SANDAG, agreed to enter into exclusive talks with the San Diego County Building and Construction Trades Council to adopt a “community benefits agreement.”
If adopted later this year, the community benefits agreement could affect billions of dollars in future transportation and other projects proposed by SANDAG, the regional board representing San Diego County and its 18 cities.

Transit officials have revised their proposal to build a fence along the railroad tracks in Del Mar, where residents oppose any barrier that would limit their access to the beach.
The new plan reduces the overall length of the fence by more than half, from 12,960 feet to just 5,698 feet. It also lowers parts of the proposed fence from 6 feet tall to 4 feet tall, depending on the geography of the location, and in some areas replaces the chain-link fencing originally suggested to post-and-cable.
The fence is needed to promote rail safety and ensure reliability, said North County Transit District Executive Director Matthew Tucker said in a statement issued Wednesday.
