Port of San Diego Celebrates Pond 20’s Artistic Fence
Channel: Port of San Diego
Date: 2015-04-09

An artistic fence that marks the entrance of an undeveloped parcel of land near the east entrance to Imperial Beach has been completed. The fence, which replaces a conventional chain-link fence, was designed to enhance the area with images evoking local wildlife. The parcel, known as Pond 20, is a 95-acre piece of land that falls within the City of San Diego's Council District 8, but is under the Port of San Diego's jurisdiction. Pond 20 is also just a few feet away from a sign on Palm Avenue that delineates the entrance to the City of Imperial Beach.

Completion of the fence was celebrated on Thursday, April 2, 2015 with past and present elected officials from the cities of Imperial Beach and San Diego, and current and former Port commissioners. Board of Port Commissioners Chairman Dan Malcolm, Imperial Beach Mayor Serge Dedina, City of San Diego Councilmember David Alvarez, San Diego County Supervisor Greg Cox and Caltrans District 11 Director Laurie Berman gave remarks at the event and commemorated the fence's completion by hanging one of the wildlife silhouettes onto it.
