The California Department of Transportation contributed $1 million Friday at the Sandag meeting where the regional agency outlined the concept of a plan, which will combine the general plans of the 18 cities and the county government in San Diego.
The $1.4 million plan should be complete by fall of 2003. Sandag hosted the conference, called Smart Growth Without Borders: Local Actions to Regional Solutions, at the Marriott Hotel and Marina in Downtown.
Planners, business representatives and community leaders attended several workshops on ways to address the area's vexing growth and transportation problems.
Smart-growth communities have been defined by urban planners as urban places where people can live and work, connected by mass transit.
