CORONADO A commission looking at funding for a crosstown tunnel to relieve traffic congestion in Coronado is being accused of trying to massage its traffic counts on the San Diego-Coronado Bridge and scheming to hold secret meetings promoting the project.
Coronado Councilwoman Barbara Denny made the accusations at public meetings twice in the past month against the volunteer Coronado Tunnel Commission. City officials and members of the commission say no wrongdoing occurred.
Coronado residents will be asked in an advisory vote on the June ballot whether they support the city continuing to spend money to complete a large-scale study for long-term traffic solutions including a tunnel through town. The accusations highlight the increased intensity of the debate.
