SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – Mayor Todd Gloria Thursday celebrated the completion of the first block of 14th Street Greenway project, a $2.08 million urban greenspace project along 14th Street in East Village. Once completely implemented, the 14th Street Greenway will extend 11 blocks from C Street to Commercial Street. It is the first of six interconnected greenways along 14th Street in East Village. The five other greenways will be located along Eighth Avenue, Cedar Street, E Street, Island Avenue and Union Street. “These welcoming greenways are inviting and safe and create a much- needed walkable space for the downtown community, which is forecasted to double in size in the next two decades,” Gloria said. “Spaces like this encourage residents to get out of their cars, which helps us achieve our climate-action goals. I look forward to creating more projects like this across our city.”
