San Diego Pushes Back on Boardwalk Scooter Ban

SAN DIEGO (May 22, 2018) – This afternoon, the San Diego City Council refused to pass a temporary ban on motorized scooters on the Mission Beach, Pacific Beach, and La Jolla Shores Boardwalks. Since the introduction of dockless bike and scooter share earlier this year, San Diegans have begun to use active transportation more than ever before. Circulate San Diego supports the use of dockless bike and scooter share as a form of transportation and spoke at City Council in opposition to the proposed ban.

Circulate wrote a letter in support of the proposed Middle Income Bonus Program, which was heard at the Smart Growth and Land Use Committee on May 21st. Circulate’s advocacy shaped the current proposal to make it more compatible with the existing and successful affordable homes bonus program. Circulate recommends changes to the draft, to ensure the program advances the cause of affordability for all income levels.
