San Diego public services: What’s happening in Midway-Pacific Highway
Starting this week, we take a look at how city services are working in your neighborhood — in even closer detail than before. This article breaks down information from the data desk at Times of San Diego, and shows you how things are working in the Midway-Pacific Highway community planning district. (We’ll give you a similar report for every neighborhood in different parts of the city. See how we serve those neighborhoods in this story.) We’ll start with the details from our earlier top 10 lists, looking at some of the most common public services requested via the city’s Get It Done system. Graffiti reports In the past 12-month period, the Midway-Pacific Highway district has seen 1,360 graffiti cleanup requests. That means it ranks number 12 in number of requests among all of the roughly 50 community planning districts citywide. Here’s the list of the top 10 city districts by number of graffiti reports in most recent 12 months. !function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}})}(); Illegal dumping In the past 12-month period, the Midway-Pacific Highway district has seen 482 reports of illegal dumping. That means it ranks number 25 in the number of reports among all San Diego districts. As we have reported previously at Times of San Diego, the city’s overall data on illegal dumping includes many cases where workers log the items themselves. So these numbers include some reports by residents, but in most cases include a larger number of reports by workers. Here are the top 10 city districts by reports of illegal dumping. !function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}})}(); LEARN MORE: Citywide, there’s plenty of variation in where dumping is reported. To see how that works over the course of a month, check out the interactive map we published here. Potholes In the past 12-month period, the Midway-Pacific Highway district has seen 221 pothole reports. That means it ranks number 25 in the number of reports among all districts. Here are the districts with the most pothole reports. !function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}})}(); LEARN MORE: As we’ve reported here at Times of San Diego, potholes have a season! To see how a year’s worth of potholes gets reported and repaired, see the interactive map we published here. What else do you want to know?

Maps of San Diego graffiti, dumping and pothole reports See our earlier maps of the recent issues here. Note, this data excludes a small number of reports that lacked enough location information to place them in any city district, and in general it excludes work that was reported by city workers — so it more closely shows reports filed to the city’s “Get It Done” system. Neighborhoods go by many names, and San Diego has many of them! Here’s how we break them down.
