Project Status: Construction (Estimated completion in early 2023)

The Park Boulevard (Balboa Park) project provides transit improvements in addition to a separated bikeway from Morley Field Drive to Presidents Way through Balboa Park following the the Balboa Park Pipeline Replacement, Phase II. The City worked with Balboa Park institutions, MTS, neighboring communities, and the public to implement a high priority project from the Bicycle Master Plan, make transit improvements and preserve some on-street parking near key destinations. The project connects to recently completed separated lanes in Uptown, University Heights, and Downtown and will connect with the Eastern Hillcrest Bikeways regional bikeway. The project will help the City with our Climate Action Plan and Vision Zero goals. The City is also committed to continuing to improve accessibility and mobility around the park and will continue to work with institutions to develop additional improvements supporting the park for residents and visitors.

Mission Bay Roads Resurfacing

Project Status: Open to Public

The Mission Bay street resurfacing project brings about five miles of buffered and standard (Class II) bike lanes to the Ocean Beach, Point Loma and Pacific Beach communities. This project was completed in May 2020. New bike lanes were installed on West and East Mission Bay Drive, Nimitz Boulevard, Ingraham Street, Quivira Road and Old Sea World Drive. East Mission Bay Drive is especially popular for riders as it connects northern communities like Pacific Beach all the way to Point Loma and goes around Mission Bay Park.
