Seeking Public Input

The County of San Diego was seeking public input (from August to November 2021) to address the low water crossing on Quarry Road just east of State Route 125 to provide safe access for residents, pedestrians, bicyclists, and emergency vehicles. Survey data is now being summarizing and the County will then reach back out to the community with the results after internally vetting them. 

The survey is now closed
