Street Repaving in El Cerrito and the College Area

From Cynthia Harris and the office of Council District 7
The City of San Diego is launching a project to resurface 134 miles of streets, covering more than 1,000 city blocks. Last year, the City resurfaced 27 miles of streets. 147 additional miles of roads will have slurry- seal resurfacing because of this project as well. The cost for these improvements will be around $47 million, and the money will be coming from a $103 million deferred- maintenance bond reserved for capital improvement projects.

Streets scheduled for repaving in El Cerrito and the College Area include sections of 68th Street, Arosa Street, Art Street, College Avenue, Dayton Street (Gilbert and Berting will be repaved separately as part of an upcoming water/sewer main replacement project), Lindo Paseo, Montezuma Place, and Rock Place.

Streets scheduled for slurry seal resurfacing include sections of 54th Street, 60th Street, Baja Drive, Catoctin Drive, Cleo Street, Dorothy Drive, La Dorna Street, Montezuma Place, Richard Street, Saranac Street, and Trojan Avenue.

Changing The Guard

Mrs. Peacock and her late husband moved into a house on Berting Street more than 40 years ago. During much of that time, Mr. Peacock served as Block Captain for their neighborhood, and since his death, she has taken over that responsibility. At the March 18 ECCC community meeting, Mrs. Peacock gave up her position as Block Captain, pinning her late husband’s Block Captain name tag on Maurize Rios. The image shows (from left) Maurize Rios, Mrs. Peacock and Carl Luster.

In addition to delivering the ECCC newsletter to Berting Street, Dayton Street, and Gilbert Drive, Maurize will now serve as a central contact point for residents in his neighborhood. Thanks to Mrs. Peacock and her late husband for their years of community service, and thanks to Maurize Rios for volunteering his time and effort.
