Community Issues - Pending Projects

Torrey Pines Corridor Traffic and Beautification

In response to numerous questions from the community regarding traffic and safety conditions on Torrey Pines Rd, between La Jolla Shores Dr. and Girard St., during the period Transportation Planning staff were working on the Throat intersections project, Councilman Peters requested a traffic corridor study of that section of Torrey Pines Road. It has now been over six months since the completion of the intersection, traffic is relatively settled and will enable a meaningful evaluation of the corridor.

During the Torrey Pines Rd corridor study, Councilman Peters has requested that he be informed of all projects currently contemplated in the corridor. He has requested a hold on the design and planning of these projects until the corridor study is completed, unless the project is to remedy an eminent safety condition(s) in which case after the consultation with the community and Transportation Planning it should move forward. This will enable all projects to be evaluated in the context of the larger corridor study and allow for better resource allocation.

Torrey Pines Road Guardrail Project

Councilman Peters has requested that the La Jolla Community Planning Association Subcommittee on Guardrail work in conjunction with Traffic Planning Staff and the corridor study. The entire study will take about a year, but Traffic Planning staff will complete the corridor study area at the site of the guardrail first to expedite discussion of this project.
