Dana Point completes a long sought effort to revitalize Town Center with the Pacific Coast Highway Del Prado project. The 19.1 million plan aims to restore two way traffic and beautify downtown while honoring historic lantern inspired street names and the seaside development vision rooted in the 1920s.
Median landscaping updates replace trees with rose wrapped date palms and Tipu trees, widened sidewalks, brick crosswalks, vintage lamp posts, and a stucco arch reading Lantern District. A $400000 arch features inlaid historic depictions and aligns with Del Prado and PCH buildings, signaling a new pedestrian oriented gateway. Public seating and two way traffic on Del Prado restore historic flow while Caltrans maintained main PCH traffic. Community feedback ranges from improved aesthetics to concerns over business impact during construction, with a November 16 dedication set for the coastal entrance arch.
Street signs in Sidney Woodruff style with lanterns will guide visitors to harbor and points of interest. Two arches, banners on poles, and a replica corporation entrance will mark routes. Historic signs recount tall ships and Richard Henry Dana as old structures become restaurants. privately funded mixed use buildings planned on 14 empty lots.
