DOWNTOWN — Major intersections in downtown San Diego are now safer for drivers and pedestrians thanks to the completed installation of six new traffic signals. The Centre City Development Corporation (CCDC), working on behalf of the San Diego Redevelopment Agency, installed these new crossings in response to public demands for improved vehicle and pedestrian traffic and safety at major intersections downtown. The new traffic signals are located at Market and Union streets; Market Street and Third Avenue; Market Street and Ninth Avenue; Park Boulevard and Island Avenue, Park Boulevard and J Street; and Front and Cedar streets in the Cortez, Marina and East Village neighborhoods. The total project cost $1.25 million and was funded through property taxes and a SANDAG TransNet grant.
