Lomas Santa Fe Corridor Improvement Project

The project study area for the Lomas Santa Fe Drive Feasibility Study extends from Sierra Avenue on the west side of Highway 101 (where the roadway is called Plaza Street) to Highland Drive at the City’s eastern boundary. The City’s goal for the Lomas Santa Fe Corridor Feasibility Study is to identify physical improvements that could be constructed to improve the character, safety, walkability, bikeability and circulation along this key east-west arterial through the City of Solana Beach.

Below area action items that are underway or have been completed since the project began in 2017. The newest actions are listed at the top and the oldest actions are listed at the bottom. The following is a project approach for past and future phases:

Phase III of the Lomas Santa Fe Corridor project will provide design services for proposed improvements along Lomas Santa Fe. The consultant will use the comments obtained from the public in Phase II and the direction from Council to provide revised layout plans for the corridor. As previously decided, roundabouts will not be studied or included as part of the improvements.

As directed by the City Council at the meeting in September 2018, all roundabouts have been removed from the project.

Phase II (2018)

The goal of Phase II was to prepare a preliminary design for Lomas Santa Fe Drive from Highland Drive to Highway 101 that would, among other things, improve the pedestrian and bicycling experience. The first phase of this project, which included a public walk audit, a workshop, and a council meeting. City Staff, with the help of professional consultants, used the information, recommendations and feedback received from the first phase and prepared new design concepts that would make the corridor more user-friendly for all users, with emphasis on pedestrian and bicyclists.

A Community Workshop to discuss the new design concepts of the Lomas Santa Fe Corridor Improvement Project was held in May 2018. During this workshop, the design team presented the concept plans and design alternatives for the audience to review and comment. The community was invited and encouraged to attend this workshop and share your ideas and receive your feedback.

After further meetings with the community, the City Council decided to move forward with the project and eliminated all roundabouts from the project.

Phase II Workshop Presentation Materials
