Octavia Boulevard — Central Freeway Replacement Project

Built in 1959, San Francisco's Central Freeway, a 1.2-mile, double-deck structure, divided area neighborhoods. The Central Freeway Replacement Project began in March 2003 with the demolition of the existing Central Freeway structure. The Department of Public Works designed and constructed the new Octavia Boulevard, which carries traffic that once traveled on the elevated double-decked freeway structure. The new boulevard reopened in September 2005. Today, the boulevard's central lanes allow commuters to access streets leading to and from the city's western neighborhoods, while the outer edge of the boulevard has a single lane in each direction for local traffic.

Newport Beach General Plan

The Newport Beach General Plan had to be approved by voters. The new general plan reduced potential office and industrial capacities by more than four million square feet, instead designating land for 3,000 more housing units than were permitted by the old plan. The plan is an effort to meet the community vision and preserve the unique and beautiful coastal community. City officials won voter approval for the new plan through newsletters, public meetings and study sessions.
