Multi-Use San Vicente Pathway Opens in Ramona

RAMONA, CA -- On the afternoon of Nov. 30, San Diego County officials held a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the intersection of San Vicente Road and Deviney Lane for a new a multi-use track called known as the San Vicente Pathway.

The main artery of San Vicente Road between Ramona and the San Diego Country Estates had been a narrow two-lane roadway for years, but the San Vicente Road Improvement project increases safety by realigning the road, reducing curves and hills, improving line-of-sight, and adding safety features.

One main safety feature is the construction of a 2.2 mile multi-use equestrian, pedestrian, and bicycle pathway from Warnock Drive to 1,000 feet east of Wildcat Canyon Road.

The 10-foot wide pathway safety feature connects four miles of Barnett Ranch Preserve trails along San Vicente Road northerly to Ramona and southeasterly to Wildcat Canyon Road and the San Diego Country Estates.

Construction of the estimated $22 million project was launched in September 2014.
