Project Background

The Mission Boulevard Public Spaces and Active Transportation planning effort is a SANDAG grant funded effort led by the City of San Diego (grant application) .The plan seeks to identify opportunities for public spaces, bicycle and pedestrian improvements in the area bounded by Mission Boulevard, Pacific Beach Drive, Diamond Street, and the boardwalk (Project Study Area).

Project Initiation and Discovery

The project team conducted stakeholder interviews in November 2016, performed a field walk of the project area, and reviewed previous studies. In addition, an aerial topographic survey of the area was performed. After these activities, the project consultants have identified areas of opportunities and constraints within the project corridor. These areas are identified in graphical format in the following documents:

• Existing Conditions and Opportunities
• Existing Conditions & Constraints
• Opportunity Areas

Mobility Analysis and Concepts

An existing conditions report and opportunities and constraints assessment to evaluate and analyze pedestrian, bicycle, transit and vehicular conditions in the study area has been prepared and willb e incorporated into the study. Urban Design and Mobility concepts have been developed, identifying multi-modal streetscape and urban design improvements to enhance pedestrian, bicycle, and transit facilities.
