STREETSCAPE PROGRESS UPDATES
A structural engineer has joined the project team, bringing expertise to the design and implementation of key installations. The architects and civil engineers are working with the City of San Diego on permit reviews and requirements to seamlessly integrate the planned infrastructure improvements with city regulations. We are actively pursuing additional grants to advance infrastructure improvements, particularly focusing on the installation of stormwater drains and light fixtures along Girard Avenue.
