San Diego Mayor Kevin L. Faulconer recently oversaw Palisades Plaza’s grand reopening as the public gathering space for which it was originally designed.
What was earlier this year a deteriorating parking lot at the South Palisades of Balboa Park is now a pedestrian plaza in proximity to the Comic-Con Museum, San Diego Automotive Museum, and San Diego Air & Space Museum. The renovations were made with an eye toward restoring the spot to the initial purpose for which it was designed in 1935.
Organizations that have as their mission the promotion of tourism find brochure printing services invaluable.
The transformation of the Plaza was accomplished entirely by the San Diego Parks and Recreation Department and Transportation and Stormwater Department, and started in April of this year. Among the improvements made were asphalt removal, tram stop upgrading, turf lawn installation, tree planting, the North Palisades parking lot repaving, and the sidewalk and pedestrian curb ramps upgrading per the standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
With indoor activities curtailed by concern over the spread of COVID-19, park space has taken on new importance. Back in August, San Diego Mayor Faulconer issued an executive order permitting religious institutions and gyms to utilize parks at no cost to inhibit the spread of the virus.
The Palisades Plaza and other Balboa Park work were in addition to an excess of 100 park upgrades in 50 improved or new parks throughout the city.
