Chula Vista City Council to Vote on Adopting Vision Zero

SAN DIEGO (March 17, 2020) – The City of Chula Vista City Council will consider adopting Vision Zero at its hearing today. Vision Zero is the goal of ending all traffic fatalities and serious injuries for people walking, bicycling, driving, and any other form of transportation. Circulate San Diego will be available throughout the day for in-person or phone interviews in English or Spanish.

The City of Chula Vista is voting on adopting a VIsion Zero resolution tomorrow, and now it's easy to participate from home! Instead of going in person to speak at public comment, you can submit public comment online, in fact, Chula Vista is encouraging it. 

Please submit a comment in support of Vision Zero! We support Chula Vista becoming a Vision Zero city, but their resolution needs to have a timeframe for accomplishing Vision Zero. We drafted some language below to make it easy for you to submit comments.

Today, Circulate San Diego submitted a letter in support of Assembly Bill 2062. Circulate supports this bill which would provide $5 million for SANDAG to conduct a study of higher speed and safety alternatives for the Los Angeles-San Diego-San Luis Obispo (LOSSAN) Rail Corridor in the County of San Diego.

Erosion of the Del Mar Bluffs is an imminent issue and we must allocate funds to identify a long-term solution for the corridor.
