| The Big Picture |
| Philanthropist Irwin Jacobs wants to transform Balboa Park’s Plaza de Panama into a pedestrian square, and he’s promised to raise $25 million to do it. But those plans are in limbo as they face opposition from preservationists. |
| The Next Step |
| On July 19, the San Diego City Council will vote on whether to support Jacobs as he completes design work and environmental studies. |
| What’s at Stake |
| Jacobs suspended work after a council subcommittee didn’t endorse his project. Mayor Jerry Sanders said Jacobs’ commitment to bankroll the renovation — and thus the project itself — will be lost if the council doesn’t signal its support now. |
