City Of Del Mar: Environmental Document Examines Planned River Path Extension

Press release from the City of Del Mar:

March 7, 2022

An environmental document examining plans for the River Path Del Mar Phase III Extension Project is available for public review and comment through April 1.

The Mitigated Negative Declaration document concludes that with mitigation measures, the trail extension will not have a significant effect on the environment.

As planned, the half-mile-long trail would run adjacent to San Dieguito Drive and connect existing trail segments west of the Grand Avenue overlook to Crest Canyon. The path would include a combination of decomposed granite walkways and boardwalks.

As a gateway to the San Dieguito River Valley, the San Dieguito Lagoon provides habitat for sensitive wildlife and is an important stop for migrating birds along the Pacific Flyway.  For people, Riverpath Del Mar is a popular destination for walking, jogging, bird-watching and photography.

Hard copies of the environmental document can be viewed at City Hall and the Del Mar Library. The deadline for written comments is 5 p.m. April 21.
