La Jolla Real Estate: La Jolla Luxury Homes

Bird Rock Renovations of La Jolla CA

Construction began on the first two roundabouts being added to Bird Rock as part of the Barratt American Seahaus development project in November, 2007. Using developer fees from La Jolla, bicycle grants and a $2 million "Smart Growth" competitive grant we won from the San Diego Association of Governments, the construction project was fully funded.

The specified goals for the renovation include replacement of sewer main and laterals replacement on the 5600 and 5700 blocks of the boulevard and sewer main replacement in Forward Street, from La Jolla Hermosa to Beaumont and in La Jolla Mesa near Linda Rosa and Colima, the La Jolla Hermosa/Forward traffic circle is also in this package, and sewer main replacement on La Jolla Mesa, just south of Colima to just north of Linda Rosa, and on Colima, from Taft to La Jolla Mesa.

The recent construction of three additional roundabouts and other improvements along La Jolla Boulevard and surrounding surface streets has been perhaps the most intrusive component of the construction process as a whole with its disrupting of traffic along La Jolla Boulevard throughout recent months.

West Coast General and our other project partners were incredibly accommodating throughout the entirety of the construction as they displayed notable flexibility and responsiveness to community concerns.

This construction project has already received the Urban Land Institute's "Smart Growth Award" for the "Catalyst Project of the Year" and the American Planning Association's "Award of Merit" for "Planning Excellence for a Grassroots Initiative." The Federal Highway Administration will feature the traffic calming project as a public demonstration showcase in La Jolla later this year, attracting urban planners from across the country.
