SAN DIEGO (KGTV) – A local business now has more time to move after ABC 10News made phone calls to SANDAG, the owner of the property.
A Street Auto Service was told to relocate in less than four months because of an MTS bus project.
“19 years is a long time and you know, I have a great great location, I have a lot of clientele down here, so it’s a blow,” said Scott Ward. He’s been the owner of “A” Street Auto Service in downtown San Diego for almost two decades. But that run of being at this location almost came to an end.
“This is my whole livelihood. I’ve worked hard for this thing,” said Ward.
A few days ago, Scott got a notice from Epic Land Solutions that said the owner of the property was terminating his tenancy. The letter said he had 120 days to get out.
The owner of the property is the San Diego Association of Governments or SANDAG.
The reason SANDAG wants to push out Ward’s auto business? A more than $1 million MTS Downtown Bus Stopover Project.
SANDAG said the project is not moving forward and hasn’t been funded yet.
