Community planning at the APG
ALPINE — Alpine residents, businesses, organizations and
local agencies are encouraged to attend Thursday's meeting
of the Alpine Planning Group to see San Diego County's first
draft of a preliminary engineering report that could change
Alpine Boulevard.
County project managers will present a detailed study for
pedestrian improvements for a targeted area bounded by parts
of Alpine Boulevard, Arnold Way and Tavern Road.
The planning group will meet at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Feb.
25, at the Alpine Community Center, 1830 Alpine Blvd.
Using information gathered over the past 25 years in Alpine,
the purpose of the county study was to look at ways to
create parkway zones, improve walking in the area, calm
traffic and determine improvements needed to make
intersections effective and safe.
The report also could form the basis for developing a Town
Center Plan, representing the community's view of what the
center of Alpine should look like in the future.
