    Bridging the Centuries: The Jewel on the Bay Commemorating the History of the County Administration Center - 2nd Edition JEWEL ON THE BAY 2 Bridging the Centuries: The Jewel on the Bay is the second edition about the history of the San Diego County Administration Center. Beginning in 1902, San Diego’s civic leaders crossed many hurdles before construction could begin on this public building. Bridging the Centuries exam- ines its history and gives us a glimpse into the region at that time. It also commemorates the many San Diegans who held to their vision and overcame numerous obstacles in bringing this grand building to reality. This building’s legacy began in 1938 with its dedication by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The County Administration Center stands as a testa- ment to the strength, vitality, diversity, livability and beauty of this region. This book tells its story.

  • “Sitting on the Dock of the Bay:” 100 Years of Photographs from the San
    “Sitting on the Dock of the Bay” 100 years of Photographs from the San Diego Historical Society Linda A. Canada San Diego Bay is one of the region’s greatest natural resources. For the earliest inhibitants, it was a place of beauty, a source of food and refuge, a transportation corridor, and a meeting place. Photographs from the San Diego Historical Society’s collection, spanning more than one hundred years, illustrate the many changes the bay has undergone.1 Physical forces have transformed the bay. Although it is still approximately fourteen miles long from the entry off Point Loma to the salt pans at its southern end, the depth and contours of the bottom of the bay have changed as military and commercial uses required removal of sand bars and deepening of the main channel. As early as 1850, city leaders realized the importance of improving the harbor for commerce. However, significant amounts of dredging were required to build and maintain an adequate shipping channel. This expensive work was not within the budget of the City of San Diego. Members of the Chamber of Commerce and local businessmen strongly encouraged the Navy to add new facilities around San Diego Bay. In fact, the greater part of bay improvements were eventually funded by the United States government.2 Other physical changes involved redirecting the San Diego River into Mission Bay, using dredge spoils to create Harbor and Shelter Islands and much of the land beneath the airport, and reshaping the shores of Coronado for military needs. These changes included filling in Spanish Bight and Whaler’s Bight, both on Coronado’s North Island, and broadening that area by placing dredge spoils along its north shore.

  • Backgrounder North Embarcadero 110314.Docx
    BACKGROUNDER Nov. 3, 2014 Civitas North Embarcadero waterfront park design links active harbor to downtown San Diego “With this first phase, we were honored to help create a world-class waterfront for San Diego. The city and its partners have been working on the vision for years as one of the most heavily used areas along the waterfront.” --Scott Jordan, Civitas principal. Opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Nov. 15, 2014, San Diego’s new North Embarcadero waterfront park forms part of a revitalized gateway to the city’s downtown center and establishes an energized destination within a rapidly developing area of the city. The 1000-foot-long linear park adjacent to San Diego Bay is the first phase of a $200 million, 10-phase project which had remained in a conceptual stage for more than 20 years. Denver-based urban design studio Civitas as part of the team of consultants has worked with clients Civic San Diego (formerly known as Centre City Development Corporation), Port of San Diego, and the City of San Diego for the past seven years to bring this first phase of the project to completion. The design team evolved an existing master plan to develop a people-friendly, urban park area and promenade alongside a working waterfront that is home to cruise ships, fishing operations and museums. “At certain times of the year, you’ll have three cruise ships disembarking on the same day at this location. That’s equivalent to three small cities spilling out onto the waterfront landscape en route to the city,” explains Scott Jordan.
