A City spokesperson said there are two ongoing infrastructure-improvement projects in Pacific Beach: sewer and water project in Crown Point and La Playa; and an SDG&E project to underground utility lines and remove the utility poles in that area.
“Starting next week, the contractor is going to begin doing some work near the homes on Crown Point Drive,” said City spokesperson Alec Phillipp. “However, with inclement weather in the forecast, it’s possible this will be pushed back. Once the summer beach moratorium (from Memorial Day to Labor Day) hits, they’ll shift back to working on interior streets like Yosemite, Jewell, LaCima, and LaMancha.”
Phillipp said this project is expected to continue construction through early next year.
Regarding SDG&E construction work, Phillipp said: “This project is driven by SDG&E and overseen by City staff. The project’s footprint encompasses a good portion of Crown Point, everything south from Moorland Drive to the Ingraham Street bridge. The installation of new street lights will also be included.”
Phillipp added the SDG&E project is divided geographically into two jobs: Job 1 includes everything from Ingraham Street heading west, and Job 2 is from Ingraham Street heading east.
“Because of the large scope included in this project, they’re estimating that work won’t be completed until approximately 2025,” noted Phillipp. “Because the two projects are overlapping geographically, they’re coordinating their schedules and full final curb-to-curb repaving won’t be completed until the SDG&E work is done. However, all streets will be maintained throughout the work and the contractors will respond to inquiries accordingly.”
