SAN DIEGO — The City of San Diego is already a year into a project to add new roundabouts on University Avenue between Fairmont and Euclid avenues. With construction delays, City Heights business owners fear if the project lasts as long as the city plans, they aren't going to survive."We've lost almost 70% of the business," Mehraz, who owns Dan's Smog Check Station, says."People, they tell me, 'I have to go, I'm sorry I couldn’t get to your business.
Mehraz says the construction is happening on a heavily traveled road that is now too narrow, congested, and lacking parking. He says cars get stuck behind buses constantly, and they decide they can't wait any longer before taking their business elsewhere.The city's contractorstarted the project last October. The project will add new roundabouts, medians and crosswalks above ground, in addition to more work below ground.
The City of San Diego told ABC 10News that previously undetected utility issues and cold and wet conditions have slowed down the first phase of the project. It estimates the installation of the storm drain system and the north sidewalk and curb extensions are 75% completed, while the north side electrical and irrigation are approximately 80% done.
They say they have reached out to the city multiple times looking for a better answer. They believe that if the project goes as long as it's scheduled to, in addition to the next phase, businesses in the area will go under. "They want us to be dead for three years. What? Work for ourselves? Work hard and make zero dollars? That's what this whole system is about?" Singh wonders.
