Outreach and Collective Impact
The B-Fusion Strategy
We co-sponsor and promote the B-Fusion Strategy, a collective impact tool for communicating and coordinating efforts within the bi-national community of San Ysidro (San Diego) and the City of Tijuana Baja California.
Through this communication portal stakeholders and strategic partners can share information about urban land planning and transportation infrastructure.
The B-Fusion Strategy promotes Smart Growth and transit oriented development, as well as economic development strategies that maximize the dynamic and complementary environment surrounding the Points of Entry between the United States and Mexico.
As the new trade agreement USMCA comes into effect, it will promote and foster the growth of Services Trade, which already accounts for 50% of all exports from California to Mexico.
The Cross-border Micro Economic Zones surrounding the points of entry are the perfect destination to improve North American Competitiveness.
Binational Pedestrian Loop
We propose the development of a bi-national pedestrian walkway (Paseo) to connect the pedestrian points of entry in the west and east in San Ysidro, and through the El Chaparral and New City districts, as well as the San Ysidro Trolley Station and the Outlets at the Border.
