After being closed for nearly three years, the Pedestrian West facility at the San Ysidro port of entry, known as Ped-West, will finally re-open to foot traffic beginning Monday morning, January 9. The San Ysidro Port of Entry is one of the world's busiest land-border crossings. Ped-West was shut down in the early part of the pandemic, although it was used briefly last April only to process Ukrainian asylum seekers. When Ped-West closed down in April 2020, it had been operating 24 hours a day. When it reopens on Monday, its hours will be limited, from 6 am to 2 pm, at least for the time being. Still, many local business owners and others who frequently cross the border on foot are celebrating this news.
