Street Reconstruction Group 1801

Project Description

This project provides for improving portions of Gold Coast Drive, between Camino Ruiz and Thanksgiving Lane, and Parkdale Avenue, between Northup Drive and Mira Mesa Boulevard. Improvements will include pavement reconstruction; replacement of traffic signal detection loops, traffic striping/markings and damaged sidewalks; installation of curb ramps to facilitate access for persons with disabilities, curb and gutter and cross gutters, bus stop pads and drain pipes; and tree removal. Before construction on the improvements, multiple underground utilities from San Diego Gas & Electric, AT&T and Spectrum Charter Communications will need to be relocated. View the project alignment.

Prior to awarding the construction contract, the City coordinated with all private utility owners in the right of way by providing them the plans illustrating the estimated location of work along the alignment. The private utility owners who acknowledged conflicts with their utility worked with the City to relocate their assets to avoid conflicts prior to construction. Extensive work was performed by AT&T, SDG&E and Charter Communications, who realigned their utilities. Once construction began, additional utilities in conflict with the project were discovered, which triggered more relocation work. This utility conflict relocation work has added extra time to the project. The private utility owners currently in conflict did not inform the City of any issues during our early design coordination phase and their as-builts did not reflect there were these additional issues.
