VISTA —
After decades of planning, six years of construction and $30 million in spending, Vista’s long-awaited Paseo Santa Fe improvement project is finally complete.
The 0.8-mile stretch of South Santa Fe Avenue between Vista Village and Civic Center drives is the latest piece in a downtown revitalization project that has been under way for more than 20 years.

Since the Paseo project kicked off in May 2014, the corridor has undergone a massive renovation that included the undergrounding of utility lines, narrowing of the road from four lanes to two, two new roundabout traffic circles, new sidewalks, streetlights and landscaping, a veterans memorial park, public art pieces and two arched “Vista” monument signs at either end of the Paseo roadway area. The project was completed in December.
