Over the past two years, Circulate San Diego spent many mornings and afternoons hanging in the City of Coronado. But instead of sunbathing or site seeing we were providing fun and interactive Safe Routes to School (SRTS) activities to the large number of students walking and biking to school. The compact nature and the central location of the schools make Coronado a walking and biking paradise for students.  Nonetheless, the City is not without its challenges, especially when it comes to traffic safety.

Over the past year, Circulate San Diego has been working together with community partners and the City of San Diego to develop a new permitting process for placemaking projects. We have sent a letter to Mayor Kevin Faulconer supporting the proposed placemaking policy amendments to the Municipal Code. 

Last week we sent a letter to Mayor Kevin Faulconer supporting the proposed placemaking policy amendments to the Municipal Code.

Last week Circulate San Diego sent City of San Diego Councilmember Scott Sherman to share our support for the road connection between Phyllis Place in Serra Mesa and Franklin Ridge Road in Mission Valley.

The connection is proposed in the Serra Mesa Community Plan Amendment. We feel that this connection with bicycle and pedestrian facilities is particularly important because it will reduce greenhouse gas emissions, support smart growth development, and increase connectivity for our communities in a manner that promotes transit, mobility, and bicycle accessibility.
