Vista Innovation and Design Academy Safe Routes to School: The City of Vista conducted a Safe Routes to School/ corridor study focusing on Vale Terrace Drive and Foothill Drive.

Vista has completed a plan to improve walking and biking and to slow down traffic along the streets leading to the school. Read the entire letter here.
Matagual Park: The future Matagual Park resides at the end of Matagual Drive adjacent to Hacienda Drive and SR78. The 2.27-acre parcel climbs gently to the east, which will allow for various community proposed amenities.
