URBAN EXPLORER / BUILDING CIVIC INFRASTRUCTURE WITH FREEWAY LIDS

Spaghetti like strands on Google map are perfect candidates for freeway lids to cover slashes and gashes the roadways made through downtown San Diego, Balboa Park and Golden Hill neighborhoods. The lids will improve civic infrastructure and reunite the separated communities. 

PUT A LID ON IT. CLOSE THE GASHES IN NEIGHBORHOODS LEFT BY FREEWAY CONSTRUCTION. 

Friends of San Diego Architecture Lecture with Rob Wellington Quigley, FAIA  Architect Rob Quigley will talk about San Diego Commons’ plans to cover sections of Interstate 5 and close the “gash” between downtown and its immediate neighbors, Balboa Park and Golden Hill/ Sherman Heights. 

Rob will also discuss the opportunities for San Diego to benefit from the Biden Administration’s $2 trillion infrastructure program. Established in 1978, Rob Wellington Quigley, FAIA, is a full service architecture and planning firm with offices in San Diego and Palo Alto, California.
