The County is committed to maintaining safe, reliable infrastructure for everyone in the unincorporated area. This includes improving roads and intersections—or sometimes simply providing a refresh through repaving—to ensure communities stay connected and safe.
One example of this work comes from our public works team, which transformed a one‑mile stretch of Bear Valley Parkway, an important regional link in North County near Escondido. Using TransNet sales tax dollars, crews delivered improvements that enhance safety, mobility, and the overall look and feel of the roadway.
What we provided:
• A divided median to reduce congestion and collisions and allow safer access to driveways and cross streets
• ADA‑accessible pedestrian ramps and sidewalks
• Bike lanes and the undergrounding of overhead utilities
• Water‑filtration basins to capture and filter runoff entering the storm drain
