Pedestrians' Progress

Additional funding to complete the Ted Williams Parkway Pedestrian Bridge project at Shoal Creek Drive in Carmel Mountain Ranch has been secured.

Approximately $2.3 million in federal and local funds had been raised, but an additional $2.5 million from "stimulus" funding (allocated at the end of June) will ensure that the bridge is completed on a schedule. Information at sandiego.gov states that the project is estimated to cost $4.5 million.

The bridge project is expected to make it safer for pedestrians headed toward Shoal Creek Elementary School, near the southeast corner of the Shoal Creek Drive and Ted Williams Parkway intersection.

According to sandiego.gov: “Several accidents have occurred, prompting community concerns and vehicle congestion in the area due to parents driving their children to school rather than allowing them to cross at this intersection.”
