I Love A Clean San Diego (ILACSD) is seeking 8,000 volunteers to help beautify more than 100 sites across San Diego County on Saturday, Sept. 21, 2019 from 9 a.m.\u2013noon. Volunteers of all ages and abilities are encouraged to sign up for a site in their neighborhood and help leave a positive impact on the entire region. Online registration is now open at CleanupDay.org.<\/p>\n<p>Coastal Cleanup Day covers more than just the shoreline. ILACSD focuses the majority of its cleanup efforts along inland waterways and canyons. With 80% of marine debris coming from inland territories, volunteers learn first-hand the importance of keeping trash out of the region\u2019s waterways, which can carry trash and pollutants directly to the ocean through the storm drain system. In 2018, 9,174 volunteers removed over 148,000 pounds of trash, recyclables, and green waste from San Diego and Tijuana regions that otherwise would have polluted the beloved coastline and the Pacific Ocean.<\/p>\n<p>ILACSD invites volunteers to take waste reduction into their own hands by pledging to \u201cBring Your Own\u201d reusable items when they register at CleanupDay.org. Each volunteer who brings a reusable water bottle, work gloves, and\/or a bucket to collect litter significantly reduces the need for single-use bags and disposable gloves. Prizes will be awarded to the best decorated buckets entered into this year\u2019s Bling Your Bucket contest. Volunteers are encouraged to download the Clean Swell app to be used in place of paper data cards to track the debris collected on event day. The app is free and available to download for both iOS and Android devices. Sony Electronics has returned to sponsor this year\u2019s Coastal Cleanup Day Photo Contest where volunteers have the opportunity to win a Sony Cybershot Camera.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>Ciudad recibe premio tecnol\u00f3gico por plan de implementaci\u00f3n de 5G<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>La ciudad de San Diego recibi\u00f3 el Premio al Proyecto de TI Sobresaliente de Government Technology, una revista y sitio en l\u00ednea centrado en la tecnolog\u00eda de la informaci\u00f3n en el sector p\u00fablico, en la Cumbre de Gobierno Digital de Los \u00c1ngeles. La ciudad gan\u00f3 el premio el martes por la tarde por su enfoque de vanguardia para implementar la tecnolog\u00eda 5G mediante el uso de an\u00e1lisis de datos y tecnolog\u00eda de Sistema de Informaci\u00f3n Geogr\u00e1fica (GIS) para crear un conjunto de herramientas para respaldar la obtenci\u00f3n de permisos y la instalaci\u00f3n de nodos de celdas peque\u00f1as 5G.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe 5G mobile network is regarded as the next-generation standard for wireless communications,\u201d said Erik Caldwell, the San Diego\u2019s Deputy Chief Operating Officer. \u201cThis award not only shows how we are ahead in building a foundation for this technology, but how we are doing it right.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>El proyecto de la ciudad se desarroll\u00f3 en septiembre de 2018 luego de que la Comisi\u00f3n Federal de Comunicaciones exigiera a los municipios que pusieran a disposici\u00f3n sus activos, como el alumbrado p\u00fablico, para la distribuci\u00f3n de equipos 5G. Usando GIS, la ciudad cre\u00f3 un mapa interactivo interno para identificar qu\u00e9 luces de la calle estaban disponibles para montar celdas peque\u00f1as y construy\u00f3 un mapa disponible p\u00fablicamente para que los proveedores de telecomunicaciones investiguen y soliciten el uso de las luces de la calle disponibles. Adem\u00e1s, crearon un tablero para monitorear el proceso de presentaci\u00f3n por parte de los proveedores y una aplicaci\u00f3n de edici\u00f3n m\u00f3vil que permite al personal de campo recomendar la ubicaci\u00f3n de activos y cambios de atributos para mejorar la precisi\u00f3n de la base de datos.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe suite of tools has sped up our workflow significantly and gives us more accurate data,\u201d said Jonathan Behnke, the San Diego\u2019s Chief Information Officer. \u201cBefore it was created, the city did not have a dynamic mapping interface to research what types of equipment were on all the street light poles. We hope our model inspires other cities as they permit the installation of 5G small cells.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>MTS para celebrar el D\u00eda del Viaje Gratis<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The San Diego Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and North County Transit District (NCTD) announced that the agencies will hold the region\u2019s second \u201cFree Ride Day\u201d on Wednesday, Oct. 2.
