Prospect Avenue Enhancement Update for December

It’s been nearly a year since the city began its major makeover of a mile-long section of Prospect Avenue between Cuyamaca Street and Magnolia Avenue, and there’s still  a bustle of construction activity.

The latest milestone was the replacement of the traffic signal at Cottonwood Avenue.

Construction crews are continuing to install concrete curbs, gutters and sidewalks. They’re now making new pedestrian ramps at the intersection of Magnolia Avenue.

Next, construction will start on a center median in the middle section of the project near Gillespie Field.  The new median, which will be landscaped, will have a stamped concrete design pattern and pedestrian walkway lights.

In the next few weeks, new pavement will be installed on three side streets: Hacienda Drive, Fiona Way and Ian Way.  The city will notify the affected residents of the construction schedule.

Questions and concerns can be directed to Senior Civil Engineer Toby Espinola, 619-258-4100 ext. 174 or tobyespinola@cityofsanteeca.gov
