As part of the TransNet program, a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service is being planned in the I-805 corridor connecting South Bay with Kearny Mesa, UTC, UCSD, and Sorrento Mesa. View map.
The planned BRT services will run on dedicated lanes along I-805, providing fast, high frequency regional bus service on high-quality vehicles. This project will study the connection between the I-805 service and the 47th Street Trolley Station in order to improve the connectivity of the regional transit system providing vital connections for the Southeastern San Diego community to major employment areas throughout the region.
Through a collaborative effort with the Southeast San Diego Community, station design options will be developed and evaluated.
This project also will study the improvement of pedestrian/bicycle access and safety, making transit a more viable option for residents, improving access to regional employment centers and retail services, and supporting existing community revitalization efforts.
Project alternatives will incorporate the analysis of potential impacts and benefits of the project on public health via the Health Impact Assessment (HIA) currently being conducted by SANDAG as part of the Healthy Works grant program.
