More repaving, fewer patches: #SanDiego cracks down on road trenching to boost street quality and safety. The proposal would sharply increase fees paid by utility companies and would require faster and more comprehensive fixes to city streets tinyurl.com/3xf253kk

More voters support #SanDiego trash measure than oppose it, but even more are undecided, new poll shows. Support for Measure B drops after possible fees for single-family homes are mentioned. The ballot language doesn’t mention fees.tinyurl.com/3atybbkk
