Superior Avenue Pedestrian / Bicycle Bridge and Parking Lot
Project Description:
This project is located at the intersection of Superior Avenue and West Coast Highway and involves the construction of a new pedestrian/bicycle bridge across Superior Avenue and a larger parking lot with 129 parking spaces. The adjacent Sunset Ridge Park, which was completed in December 2014, is a 13.7-acre active park with a baseball field and two soccer fields. Unfortunately, due to California Coastal Development Permit constraints associated with the Sunset Ridge Park development, on-site parking was not included with the development of the park. Visitors to Sunset Ridge Park currently park at the existing parking lot on the southeast side of Superior Avenue. The existing parking lot only has 64 parking spaces and does not provide adequate parking for larger organized sporting events. The primary goals of this project are to increase parking and improve pedestrian and bicycle safety and access to Sunset Ridge Park.
Proposed improvements include the following:
- New pedestrian/bicycle bridge approximately 210 feet long and 12 feet wide overcrossing Superior Avenue
- New larger parking lot with 129 parking spaces
- Expansion of Sunset View Park (additional grass area)
- Earthwork, grading, retaining walls, storm drain and lighting improvements
- Landscape and irrigation improvements
- Amenities including a drop-off area, bicycle fix-it station, and a drinking water fountain
Project Status (Updated 10/21/2024):
Construction was substantially completed in late September. City officials hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony on October 8th to celebrate the completion of Sunset Bridge and the parking lot. This new facility is now accessible for all visitors to Sunset Ridge Park and the nearby beach. Please click on the link below and enjoy the video. Thank you for your patience throughout construction.
