Build NCC | Bike, Pedestrian, and Community Enhancements
Linking local and regional bike and pedestrian trails to improve coastal access is a key component of Build NCC, which includes projects aimed at improving east-west/north-south connectivity for pedestrians and people on bikes.
Some improvements included under Build NCC include:

- Adding bike/pedestrian paths at the Interstate 5 interchanges at Encinitas Boulevard and Santa Fe Drive.
- Adding a new pedestrian undercrossing at the south end of the San Elijo Lagoon.
- Improved access for people walking and biking at the Chesterfield Drive crossing.
