Residents have said for years the narrow alley along Cypress Drive is dangerous for pedestrians and cars squeezing their way through.

There's a plan in the works to turn the alleyway into a one-way drive from San Ysidro Boulevard to Sellsway Street to give pedestrians more room to walk by.SAN DIEGO — An alleyway along Cypress Drive in San Ysidro is a popular route people take daily to get to their destination. Bikes, cars and pedestrians squeeze their way through but it raises safety concerns.

Juanita Placencia tells CBS 8 in Spanish that there’s no sidewalk so she has to either walk close to the fence or in the middle of the street when there’s no cars. “Yeah, I've had a couple times where I've almost been hit and I have one light, a back light and then I bring an extra flash light too, just to make sure that I'm seen but they kind of speed down this alley too,” Hollomon said.

“Like many of the projects in San Ysidro, they come from the community advocating for their spaces,” Ortiz said.
