University Avenue Mobility Project

Project Background

The City of San Diego is modifying the roadway segment of University Avenue between Florida Street and Boundary Street/I-805 to improve safety and mobility along the University Avenue corridor for pedestrians, bicyclists, transit and automobile traffic.

Project Overview

The University Avenue Mobility Project (UAMP) will construct multi-modal improvements along University Avenue, between Florida Street and Boundary Street, within the North Park community. UAMP improvements include:
