C Street Master Plan

The C Street Corridor connects important neighborhoods and land uses downtown. It provides circulation parallel to Broadway in the Core/Columbia and East Village neighborhoods, and hosts the downtown trolley.

The updated Centre City Community Plan places a high priority on improving C Street, making it a comfortable and pleasant route for vehicles, walkers and transit riders. C Street's future role will be much more than a transit corridor. Improvements to the trolley system and streetscape environment, along with economic revitalization, will make it a vibrant destination for downtown workers, residents and visitors.

Growing frustration about the conditions of the corridor prompted the formation of the C Street Task Force in August 2004. Under the leadership of the Downtown San Diego Partnership, the task force worked to address the problems of C Street, including the quality of life, public art, transportation and infrastructure issues. Ultimately, the task force determined that a comprehensive master plan and implementation strategy were needed.
