There is an additional footpath here visible in a satellite image. In addition, it is possible to cross the rail tracks on foot at this point (this involves trespassing on the rail lines, but so does the currently listed rail crossing further southwest along La Jolla Colony Drive, which is marked, and it is a commonly used route by runners).

It is possible to travel on foot between the Mes Apartments parking lot north of here (not the small parking lot in the La Jolla Village Tennis Club) and the sidewalk along the westbound lane of La Jolla Village Drive. I'm not quite sure what the problem is but the map at present suggests that the fastest way between those two points is to go east on foot almost as far as Regents Road before traveling along La Jolla Village Drive to the outlet of the tennis club parking lot.

The footpaths (sidewalks) on either side of this parking lot connect to the sidewalk along Miramar Street. It should thus be possible to travel by foot directly from this point on Miramar Street to the footpath to the west of 9162 South Mesa Apartments, rather than having to turn right and join the footpath near 9156 South Mesa Apartments.
