Belvedere Promenade

La Jolla, CA

This proposal would create a pleasurable shopping and outdoor dining pedestrian promenade on Prospect Street in the heart of La Jolla. The plan calls for relocating parking spaces and realigning the roadway for efficient and pedestrian-friendly vehicular travel. The proposed public Belvedere vista point overlooks Ellen Browning Scripps Park and the Pacific Ocean beyond, creating a destination for tourists and residents alike.

“Do all this and La Jolla would have a proper heart. The structure of the area would not be changed significantly, but it would be streamlined and made logical, finally, after all these years.”
