Lights, shade and an avocado green trolley car: A peek at the design of Hillcrest\u2019s Normal Street Promenade<\/a><\/p>\n

by Drew Sitton\u00a0| Times of San Diego<\/a><\/p>\n

The Hillcrest community may be thinking it\u2019s just getting a bike lane and park, but the Normal Street Promenade cannily hides a piece of vital, yet not very sexy, infrastructure.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been calling it a bike lane project and a promenade project, but by far the most work has been the storm drains,\u201d said Brittany Bailey, government affairs and grant manager for the mayor\u2019s office.<\/p>\n

When the project is done, \u201cLake Hillcrest\u201d will be no more. Apparently, Hillcrest\u2019s 100-year-old storm drains were not connected to the rest of the system and the intersection near Normal Street and University Avenue flooded when it rained. In addition to linking Hillcrest to the rest of the stormwater system, builders expanded the diameter of those storm drains inlets to improve water flow.<\/p>\n
