Facing a relentless tide of illegally parking scofflaws, Naval Base San Diego officials have in recent months beefed up the penalties that sailors, civilians and contractors face for parking where they shouldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the same time, base leaders acknowledge the lack of parking space along the waterfront on the installation, which is cleaved in half by Harbor Drive, and say they are working to figure out better solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to a February memo issued by then-NBSD Commander Capt. Ted Carlson, illegal parking on base has become \u201ca serious problem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NBSD was responding to an average of 20 calls a day for illegally parked vehicles, and more than 100 vehicles were being towed each month, according to a copy of Carlson\u2019s memo obtained by Navy Times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIllegal parking is a safety issue that impacts security and fire and emergency services,\u201d Carlson wrote. \u201cIt is also the cause of numerous accidents and fender benders on base.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nA February memo outlines increased penalties for illegal parkers on Naval Base San Diego. (Navy)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Because the existing policies weren\u2019t dissuading illegal parkers, Carlson\u2019s memo directed that drivers of illegally parked vehicles get two points added to their base driving record for each infraction and have their base driving privileges suspended for 30 days, along with having their vehicle towed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sailors, civilians and contractors are notified of such actions via their commanding officer or boss, according to the memo, and could see their base driving privileges suspended for a year for repeat infractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Six drivers had been issued 30-day base driving suspensions under the new policy as of Friday, according to base spokesperson Krishna Jackson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Parking has long been an issue on the \u201cwet side\u201d of NBSD, which sits on the water west of I-5 and is connected to the \u201cdry side\u201d by a pedestrian bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Carlson\u2019s replacement, Capt. Robert Heely, took command of the base in April and told Navy Times that part of the problem stems from a parking crunch along a waterfront clogged with ships, sailors and contractors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI get the frustration that many of the sailors and other folks that work here exhibit on a daily basis,\u201d he said. \u201cA lot of people brought that up to me as I was coming into this job \u2026 you need to fix parking.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Base officials said they do not have any data regarding the demographics of those parking illegally at NBSD, but Heely said he suspects it is largely sailors who are running late and illegally parking so that they don\u2019t get in trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey\u2019re literally, blatantly, parking in areas that are off limits,\u201d he said. \u201cI think (prior base leadership) saw a steady stream over time. And so it came to a boiling point where my predecessor felt that they needed to take action on it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As he\u2019s made the rounds as the new base CO, Heely said he has not heard concerns or complaints about the harsher parking policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Part of the problem involves more folks on the piers these days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NBSD has more than 60 ships today, Heely said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While he did not have past ship numbers on hand, Heely said the number of ships there has increased in the past decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019re doing a lot of maintenance on the piers these days,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd with that comes additional contractors, shipyard workers and things like that. I\u2019m not pointing fingers at them, but there\u2019s a lot more people coming to the base to do work to get this surface force ready to go.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Heely said he also wants to look at all the reserved parking spots afforded to various waterfront leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFor senior leaders as part of the ship, senior leaders as part of the waterfront organization, I think we need to look at that \u2026 what that policy says and who gets those spots,\u201d Heely said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The base is also looking at more reserved \u201cafloat parking,\u201d dedicated spaces for sailors on the waterfront\u2019s ships, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNaval Base San Diego commanding officer Capt. Robert Heely said he wants to explore more dedicated parking for sailors assigned to ships on the waterfront. (Navy)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
There is plenty of parking elsewhere on base, away from the piers, and Heely said he is working to increase awareness of the free shuttles and rental bikes that can get folks around quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While some have suggested building a parking garage, Heely said he isn\u2019t sure that is the answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf you understand the (military construction) process \u2026 it\u2019s not going to happen overnight,\u201d he said. \u201cTo do that, I\u2019m going to have to remove parking for several years, or how long it takes to build a parking structure. I\u2019m not really sure that\u2019s really going to solve the problem, either.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the meantime, Heely said he plans to convene the various waterfront commands, offices and other stakeholders to see if new solutions can be generated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m inside (I-5) here,\u201d he noted. \u201cThere isn\u2019t much between the 5 and the water that the Navy owns \u2026 that\u2019s not developed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
