The Port of San Diego halted talks on Wednesday with a Nevada based company trying to build a cement warehouse at the Tenth Avenue Marine Terminal.The project would have dramatically increased diesel truck traffic through San Diego's portside communities.Mitsubishi Cement Corporation wanted to ship 600,000 metric tons of cement-making materials to the Port owned terminal, put it in a warehouse, then truck that material around Southern California construction sites.The project would require between 4,000 and 10,000 diesel powered trucks to drive through Barrio Logan and National City as the material is delivered to Southern California customers.
