Caltrans has scheduled two major 56-hour weekend closures in September through downtown San Diego on Interstate 5 (I-5) to repair the bridge deck over State Route 163 (SR-163). Crews will close lanes to repair the bridge deck in both directions of I-5 on separate weekends.
The southbound closure will begin at Interstate 8 (I-8) on Friday, September 8 at 9 p.m. through Monday September 11 at 5 a.m. with all traffic detoured to eastbound I-8. At least one lane of southbound I-5 will remain accessible from on-ramps south of I-8 for limited local and airport traffic. The Fifth Avenue on-ramp will be closed to limit the amount of traffic using the single lane through the construction area. Southbound I-5 through motorists is advised to take southbound Interstate 805 (I-805) before they are redirected eastbound on I-8 to avoid traffic delays through downtown.

Hurricane Hillary is expected to bring strong winds and rain to San Diego County as early as Saturday night, through Monday morning. Because of this, we are advising all residents to remove or secure any items (furniture cushions, umbrellas, tables, potted plants, heaters, etc.) on your balcony due to reported high winds this weekend. Many patio furniture cushions come with ties to keep them strapped down, however, if yours do not, these are usually the first item to fly off the balcony. You may not think that heavier items on your patio could be lifted off the deck by the wind due to perceived weight, but we have seen large items fly off patios causing a huge risk of serious damage to property or people below.
EverCharge will be on-site beginning 8/15/23 to install the infrastructure for the Electrical Vehicle Charger Project.

Because of a staffing issue due to illness, the trash chute project was postponed to Tuesday, July 25th from 8:00 a.m. through Friday, July 28 at 12:00 p.m., the trash chute will be closed so that the building’s engineering team can complete the cleaning and restoration of the trash room and the floors can be repainted with epoxy. This restoration will ensure the room is easy to clean and maintain, which will minimize the smell in the room from trash liquid that has been absorbed into the concrete. During this closure, residents will need to take their trash down through the elevators to the P1 garage level and dispose of trash bags into one of the two trash bins located on the North East side of the garage. We understand this closure is inconvenient, however, it is necessary in order to complete this project without any disruption or damage to the newly painted floors. When you need to take out your trash, we recommend calling down to the front desk and asking for the padded service elevator to ensure we limit any trash liquid from spilling on the elevator tile floors. In addition, the Management team will also be placing floor mats in each elevator as a precaution to provide other options for residents to quickly remove trash while protecting the elevator floors. We also recommend that you double bag your trash during this time to reduce any chance of spills in the common area while taking your trash down to the P1 garage level.
Once the trash room floors are completely dry and the trash bins can be placed back under the trash chute, Management will send a notification out to all of the residents indicating the trash chute is back open again. We appreciate your patience and understanding while this improvement takes place and don’t hesitate to reach out to the Management team if you have any follow-up questions or concerns.
