I'm down with 11th and Broadway, looks great. So I just drove through Denver today, in Colorado Springs now visiting family. First time driving in the metro area and it looks like Denver has a significantly larger amount of high rises outside of their downtown than San Diego. This area is quite flat and obviously not coastal so its real estate is not restricted yet they have more verticality then the SD metro.
Why is it that San Diego is so afraid of height outside of downtown? I just don't get it. Denver is a smaller metro and has more stuff, I think for a metro area of our size our amount of mid and highrises outside of DT is really pathetic, do you guys agree. SD is way too low rise :( |

As for height.... I think the height restriction on downtown SD has done the city wonders in terms of aesthetics. It has helped to broaden the cluster of highrises rather evenly - aside from the gaslamp quarter. Many feel the skyline is 'squaty', I like this cause it spreads the density farther than just along the B street corridor. If not, we would have a LA-style Bunker Hill effect along B street. |

Harbor Dr is the front steet in the project. The project is right past Liberty Station

Is that Harbor Drive and Nimitz?

Trolley extension takes a step forward
Trolley extension takes a step forward
La Jolla Light 9/25/2011 "Federal officials have given a nod to the project that will bring the San Diego Trolley Blue Line from the Old Town Transit Center north to UCSD and Westfield UTC. Called the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project, the 11-mile trolley extension will serve eight stations along the route. With the Federal Transit Administration’s approval to move the project into preliminary Engineering, it is officially in the pipeline and eligible to receive federal New Starts funding, according to a press release. SANDAG Executive Director Gary Gallegos said, “We are advancing environmental and design efforts to deliver this project as fast as possible...” http://www.lajollalight.com/2011/09/...-step-forward/ |
I thought it was further along than that...

Has anyone seen the changes that have been made to 13th and Market? Looks a lot better. And what I hear is that 15th and Market (behind Albertson's) is coming up too.

Interesting...CCDC says completion date of July 2013 for Leeding Edge (16th and G)
http://ccdc.com/scripts/gis/webporta...oad.aspx?id=70 I can only hope so. Imagine if we get Library Tower, Cosmopolitan Square, 15th and Island, 1st and Island, and this all built... |
