California 282 is an eight-block long couplet in Coronado, with westbound traffic using Third Street and eastbound traffic using Fourth Street. It is the primary connection between California 75/San Diego-Coronado Bay Bridge and the North Island Naval Air Station. As such, it sees heavy commuter traffic in the mornings and evenings. Plans for alleviating the traffic include the possibility of tunneling underneath the residential areas to minimize traffic impacts caused by the location of the base in Coronado. However, such a tunnel would be very expensive, and it is currently being studied as one of several alternatives.
