The project funded by the San Diego River Conservancy and Proposition 40 adds another 0.5 miles to the San Diego River Trail. "We are grateful for the support and assistance of the San Diego River Conservancy," said Robin Rierdan, Executive Director. "Without their help, this project would not be possible."
