Elderly Pedestrian Seriously Injured on Dangerous Corridor 

SAN DIEGO (February 16, 2018) – A 91-year-old woman was struck by a car driven by a 65 year old in broad daylight yesterday on one of the most dangerous corridors in the City of San Diego. At approximately 2:45 P.M, the driver hit the woman, who was crossing the intersection of El Cajon Boulevard and Altadena Avenue in a crosswalk. 

Today, Circulate San Diego released our newest report "Democracy in Planning."

Public participation is a cornerstone of city planning and a pillar of democracy. Everyone should have a voice in how decisions are made, especially in local government. In the City of San Diego, City-sponsored community planning Groups (CPGs) serve as the primary vehicle to facilitate public participation in the planning process.

CPGs provide a space for community members to serve their City, and their input frequently improves development and transportation projects.

Our report details a variety of proposed reforms to ensure that everyone has a voice in the community planning process.
