Covering about a mile and a half of waterfront on Harbor Drive from Laurel Street to the G Street Mole in the Columbia District, the North Embarcadero Visionary Plan is a collaboration between the Port of San Diego, Centre City Development Corporation (CCDC) and the City of San Diego.

The California Coastal Commission will consider an appeal to the Port of San Diego’s coastal development permit for the first phase of the North Embarcadero Visionary Plan at a meeting on February 11th.

The plan will enliven the Embarcadero of San Diego Bay with widened sidewalks, landscaping, public art and gathering spaces.”A yes vote at the Coastal Commission meeting will ensure even more public access,” said Robert “Dukie” Valderrama, Chairman of the Board of Port Commissioners. “The project will transform a concrete and asphalt corridor into a 105-foot-wide esplanade with gardens and paths.”
