Resumen de Datos del Proyecto
Las Mejores Prácticas en Cubiertas de Autopistas& Estudio del Parque sobre la Cubierta de la SR94

Caltrans District 11SANDAGregion
SDCaltransSANDAGregion
Qué es una Cubierta de Autopista?Las cubiertas de autopistas (“freeway cap”) pueden permitir usos adicionales del área ya dedicada a las instalaciones asociadas con el transporte. Las cubiertas de autopistas tienen particularmente sentido como un medio para crear nuevos parques en zonas urbanas donde la tierra disponible es escasa y en donde ya existe un desarrollo muy denso en las áreas adyacentes a las autopistas.
En qué consiste este estudio? • ElDistrito11deCaltrans,encoordinaciónconSANDAGyelDepartamentodePlanificacióndelaCiudad
de San Diego, están trabajando con un equipo consultor para estudiar las mejores prácticas y desarrollos recientes para las cubiertas de autopistas, así como de los riesgos potenciales y de las fuentes de financiamiento.
• El estudio evaluará las mejores prácticas de proyectos de cubiertas en autopistas, e involucrará a la
comunidad –incluyendo Golden Hill, Grant Hill, and Sherman Hights- para desarrollar una visión que considere tanto las oportunidades como los desafíos para la cubierta sobre la Ruta Estatal 94.
