Skyline Drive Corridor Improvements Project
Project Background
Skyline-Paradise Hills and Encanto Neighborhoods Community groups requested that various improvements be made along the Skyline Drive corridor. Included in the corridor are fifteen intersections, nine of which are signalized, and the roadway segments spanning from 58th Street to Cardiff Street.
The City of San Diego has retained a private engineering consultant to examine the existing and forecasted traffic operations along the corridor to determine any existing or forecasted deficiencies. Based on the operations analysis, suggestions made by the City and the community groups, and input from schools along the corridor, a number of improvements or enhancements at various locations throughout the corridor have been developed.
Project Overview
The Skyline Drive Corridor Improvements will include:
- Installation of numerous pop-outs and curb ramps at the various intersections
- Installation of new medians at various locations along the corridor to complement the existing ones
- Reconfiguration of right turn access
- Installation of a guard rail along a one block segment at the top of a steep embankment
- Installation of 23 additional street lights and traffic signal modifications at four intersections
The construction of improvements should cause minimal disruption of traffic flow along Skyline Drive.
Benefits
The purpose of the project is to enhance and calm traffic, upgrade curb ramps, and provide safer travel conditions for pedestrian and bicycle traffic, especially for school children at the school crossings.
