Engineering council awards include two La Jolla projects
Two San Diego companies received honors for projects in La Jolla as the American Council of Engineering Companies of California announced the 2021 recipients of its annual
Engineering Excellence Awards.
Kleinfelder received an award for its work on the UC San Diego Mesa Housing pedestrian and bicycle bridge, which links the Mesa Housing neighborhood to almost every part of the campus.
The bridge spans 465 feet and features a 10-foot-wide bike lane and a 6-foot-wide pedestrian walkway.
Moffatt & Nichol received an award for its work on the Gilman Road bridge, which extends Gilman across Interstate 5, ties into Medical Center Drive on the east campus, completes the campus transportation “loop road” and provides a direct link for buses, cars, bicycles and pedestrians.
“We’re on track” to reopen April 12, San Diego Unified School District Area 5 Superintendent Mitzi Merino told the La Jolla Cluster Association during its March 18 meeting, referring to the district’s plan to have students return to campuses for up to four days a week of in-person instruction in a hybrid model with online learning.

Residents and staff of the Chateau La Jolla senior community breathed a sigh of relief the afternoon of Jan. 27, when all 99 received the first dose of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine in the outdoor courtyard of the Prospect Street apartment complex.
In an orchestrated mass vaccination, chairs were set up outside and residents and staff members were seated in waves. Physicians went chair to chair administering vaccines.
Once people were vaccinated, they went into the reconfigured dining area, where chairs were spaced six feet apart, to be monitored for side effects such as allergic reaction, pain, tenderness or redness around the injection site or headache or nausea. Afterward, the chairs were given an antibacterial wipedown and a new wave of residents was seated.
