Disclaimer—Please Note

The Quickway Proposal is intended to demonstrate how to create a world-class, effective rapid transit system for San Diego. Ongoing development and freeway construction means that certain features of the Proposal will need to be redesigned to fit new constraints and take advantage of new opportunities.

Likewise, any indicated alignments or station locations are for illustrative purposes only; should any elements of this Proposal advance to project status, final alignments and station locations should follow detailed and open community planning processes, involving residents, businesses, and stakeholder groups.
