Project Summary
Nasland Engineering provided civil engineering and surveying services for the City of Del Mar's Citywide Sidewalk Improvement project. Work included topographic and boundary surveys and the preparation of construction documents, specifications, and estimates necessary to construct the proposed improvements. The objective of this project was to improve pedestrian and bicycle mobility throughout the City.
Camino Del Mar/Jimmy Durante Boulevard
The first phase of the project included improvements on Camino Del Mar and Jimmy Durante Blvd from 15th Street to San Dieguito Drive including a new roundabout, sidewalks, curb ramps, Class II bicycle facilities, signage modifications, retaining walls, storm drain enhancements, and AC pavement rehabilitation. The project provided a pedestrian connection from Del Mar’s civic area to the San Diego County fairgrounds.
Via De La Valle and Camino Del Mar
The second phase was partially funded by a SANDAG and encompassed Via De La Valle and Jimmy Durante Boulevard around the fairgrounds. Challenges to this phase included design coordination with other disciplines and multiple jurisdictions, and a shortened project schedule to avoid impacts to the San Diego County Fair. The project included a road diet on Via De La Valle with new sidewalks, narrowed traffic lanes, Class II buffered bike lanes, retaining walls, storm drain, reverse angled parking, and raised mid-block crosswalks.
Del Mar Roundabout
The third phase included construction of a landscaped roundabout at Jimmy Durante Boulevard and San Dieguito Drive to promote traffic calming on this heavily traveled corridor. The project continued the sidewalks and bikeways within this corridor.
Camino Del Mar Trail
The Camino Del Mar Trail is a multi-use path for pedestrians and bicyclists that completes the corridor from the Del Mar Village to Torrey Pines State Beach. Camino Del Mar was improved to narrow the center median to include a buffered multi use path, a class 2 bikeway, and a single southbound lane traffic for vehicles.
