North Coast Highway 101 Leucadia Streetscape Update
December 2023
City Prepares for Segment C West and Drainage Improvements of Leucadia Streetscape Project
The City of Encinitas appreciates the support and patience from the community during construction for the first segments of the Leucadia Streetscape project. We are proud to see the improvements enjoyed by the community.
Currently, we are preparing for the next segment of the Leucadia Streetscape project from Jupiter Street to La Costa Avenue, which is scheduled to begin construction in January 2024.
The goal of the Leucadia Streetscape project is to preserve and revitalize the North Coast Hwy 101 Corridor, and this upcoming segment includes many important safety, transportation, and sustainability enhancements, as well as improved drainage infrastructure. Please visit the City website to view the project map.
