Project Overview
The Central Avenue Complete Streets project was previously known as the Central Avenue Bikeway project. We renamed it to more accurately reflect the work that we are doing. The Central Avenue Complete Streets project will provide connections between destinations within the San Diego communities of Kensington and City Heights, including three major business and transit corridors, two parks, a skate plaza, a community center, and three schools.
The project includes a 1-mile bikeway that will begin at Adams Avenue in Kensington and continue south along Terrace Drive and Central Avenue to Landis Street, parallel to State Route 15. The project also includes improvements such as pavement resurfacing and pothole repairs, curb extensions, high-visibility crosswalks, and traffic light enhancements designed to improve travel and safety for all roadway users.
The bikeway portion of this project will connect to Meade Bikeway, Landis Bikeway, the bikeway component of the Orange Avenue Complete Streets project, several pedestrian bridges over SR 15, and the SR 15 Commuter Bikeway.
Schedule
We started construction in summer 2026 and expect to complete the project in about one year. SANDAG will manage construction and the City of San Diego will own and operate the bikeway upon completion.
