A familiar San Diegan street is about to get a face lift.
A multi-million dollar project to beautify N. Harbor Drive in Point Loma kicked off Wednesday with a groundbreaking ceremony.
The project, which will cost $3.9 million, kicked off with a ceremony at noon to celebrate the nearly year-long project.
The Port of San Diego's Capital Improvement Program will improve a section of the drive by adding 130 parking spaces, a bike lane, median and landscape improvements and a mid-block pedestrian crossing. Public parking and new LED street lighting will also be added near America’s Cup Harbor section of Point Loma.
Mayor Kevin Faulconer, Councilmember Lorie Zapf, Port Chairman Bob Nelson and President and CEO of the Board of Port Commissioners Richard Bartell attended the ceremony.
The project will improve the section of the drive near Scott Street and is anticipated to be completed in October 2015.
