County supervisors voted yesterday to allocate nearly $2 million to begin design work on the plan to redevelop the waterfront in Downtown San Diego. The board voted unanimously to use San Diego-based Gafcon to manage the North Embarcadero project.
Ehrenkrantz, Eckstut and Kuhn, a national firm with an office in Los Angeles, will serve as project architect. Designs are expected to be completed by August 2003.
Under the plan, a stretch of downtown between the airport and Seaport Village along the waterfront would be renovated with a number of public improvements, including landscaping, new piers and a pedestrian promenade. It also would include developments such as an opera house, hotels and offices.
County and city officials are heading development of the plan, along with the San Diego Unified Port District, the Navy and the Centre City Development Corp., which is the city's downtown redevelopment arm.
