Community members gathered with District 2 Councilmember Lorie Zapf, and project leader David Potter to unveil eight new Historic Highway 101 signs along Morena Boulevard on June 15. Four signs have been posted along the eastern and western routes of the boulevard. The Clairemont Town Council, Linda Vista Town Council, and Morena Boulevard Business Association funded the project, with various supporters along the way, including SOHO, who provided a support letter earlier this year.

Highway 101 is an original U.S. highway, commissioned in 1926 by the American Association of State Highway Officials. It also incorporates parts of other roads, including the Pacific Coast Highway and El Camino Real. Designated a State Historic Highway in 1998 by the California State Assembly, the 935-mile California portion of this route is one of the last and longest original highways still in use within the state. The historic designation recognizes the major role this infrastructure played in California's overall development.

Thank you to Lorie Zapf, David Potter, and community leaders who worked together to make this happen!
