Midway-Pacific Highway community planners continued their evaluation of urban-design options for changing the texture of their community during the ongoing update of the group\u2019s community plan.
\nThe community plan for the Midway-Pacific Highway Corridor, which provided land-use designations and policies guiding future development, hasn\u2019t been updated since 1991.
\nThe Midway-Pacific Highway Corridor is a hodgepodge of commercial, industrial, office and warehouse land uses, plus limited residential. The district is in a transitional area\u00a0that borders Old Town, Point Loma, Pacific Beach and downtown San Diego.
\nCommunity and city planners are collaborating on reworking the plan, viewed as the blueprint for commercial and residential development in the congested corridor.
\nCity planner Tait Galloway, who has been guiding local planners through the community plan update, has said the plan update\u2019s objective is to “redefine the community\u2019s character while providing for alternative modes of travel moving forward.”
\nGalloway and other traffic engineers have been introducing planners to the latest urban-design concepts geared toward making streets “look and feel more pedestrian oriented.”
\nMidway-Pacific Highway planners have been examining each of the planning area\u2019s subdistricts, which include the sports arena, Kemper, Dutch Flats, Camino Del Rio, Channel, Lytton, Kurtz and Hancock transportation-corridor areas.
\nGroup chairwoman Melanie Nickel said one of the ideas behind the community plan is to “mix the uses in the community so that people are walking through.”
\nNickel said she\u2019d also like to see “something a little more realistic” in terms of what can be done to improve streetscape in the congested Midway District.
\nShe said it also would be nice to find a way to change Midway street circulation so that “everybody wouldn\u2019t have to use Rosecrans to get anywhere.”
\nGalloway pointed out that possible changes in the community plan update now under discussion “are all conceptual at this point.”<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
