The City of Carlsbad will be improving public safety and access along Park Drive near Marina Drive starting in June. Residents can expect to see construction equipment staged nearby the week of June 17 and construction beginning the week of June 25.

The project consists of:

• Improving the hillside stability and drainage in the area
• Building a new retaining wall
• Installing a new pedestrian crossing with rapid flashing beacons at Marina Drive
• After the hillside work is done, it’ll be replanted with native plants

Construction timeline

• June 2024 – January 2025
• Monday – Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

What to expect

• Traffic control will be in place for lane closures, but traffic and residential access to driveways will be maintained at all times during construction.
• The north side sidewalk will be closed. Please use the south side sidewalk.
• Street parking will be restricted in some parts. Please follow the posted “no parking” signs.
• There will be construction noise from the equipment and activities. Crews will work to minimize impacts to the extent possible.

Thank you in advance for your patience during construction. Please share the road and use caution in the work area.

*Schedule may change due to weather and other unforeseen circumstances
