The County of San Diego is going to realign Rice Canyon Road near Rancho Taza Road (pictured above) to eliminate the dangerous bend. A cross stands near the edge of this section of roadway in memory of a person who was fatally injured in an accident there.
The County of San Diego plans to realign Rice Canyon Road approximately near Rancho Taza Road one mile south of Rainbow Valley Road in order to eliminate a dangerous bend on Rice Canyon Road. The work will include realigning a Rainbow Municipal Water District waterline which is in the existing alignment, and the Rainbow Municipal Water District plans to use the realignment opportunity to increase the diameter of that waterline from eight to 16 inches.
“It will have more capacity going forward,” said Rainbow MWD general manager Tom Kennedy.
The Rainbow district has been coordinating with the county and Rick Engineering Company, which is the county’s consultant, on the inclusion of Rainbow MWD facilities. On Aug. 26, the Rainbow board voted 5-0 to authorize a professional services contract with Rick Engineering for up to $32,900 for the design work.
Rainbow’s capital improvement budget includes $32,900 for design and permitting costs and $150,000 for construction. “The rest of that line in our area is in our master plan,” Kennedy said.
Rainbow’s 2006 master plan called for upsizing the waterline to 16 inches, and available funding will determine the timetable for the remaining portions.
The completion of the design work and the county budget process will determine the construction timetable. The county’s design work was approximately 70 percent complete when the county last provided an update to the water district.
