Crash Site Memorial Installed for 9 Victims of B St Crash

On Monday, March 15, 2021 a tragic crash on B Street resulted in three deaths and six injuries of houseless San Diegans living under the City College overpass. This horrific crash confronts the intersectional nature of housing needs and safe street infrastructure.

We believe no life lost on a roadway is acceptable. We believe every San Diegan deserves a home. We call this a “crash” not an “accident” because this crash was preventable. We need policies that can solve the housing crisis and traffic violence crisis.

Circulate, in partnership with our Vision Zero allies beautifulPB, Bike SD, San Diego County Bicycle Coalition, and the San Diego Mountain Biking Association, installed a crash site memorial at the scene of the crash.

Checkout our Mobility Monday webinar series!

Are you ready to Pedal With Your Peeps?!

Pedal With Your Peeps is a two-part self-guided event that includes community engagement and activities along a safe and inviting route within the City of San Diego and adjacent to El Cajon Boulevard. Much like an open-streets event, the purpose of this self-guided event is to highlight new and upcoming infrastructure and reimagine our streetscapes by making them more bike and pedestrian friendly.

Scavenger Hunt: March 27 – April 10, 2021

Pedal With Your Peeps Saturday: April 3, 2021

Advocacy Alert: Save Slow Streets on Diamond St!

The San Diego Slow Streets Program began almost a year ago, providing safe shared spaces for residents to get outside and move around their neighborhood in much-needed car-free spaces.

Now, with just one Slow Street remaining, the program is in jeopardy. beautifulPB is organizing to keep slow streets slow, but they need your help! Councilmember Campbell and City Staff need to hear from you. We've created quick and easy links for you to share your support for the Diamond St Slow Street.

Bike Theft Awareness Month – Know Your Bike Lock!

March is Bike Theft Awareness Month! Circulate San Diego has teamed up with other local partners to provide important resources and programs to help keep you and your bike safe!

The San Diego County Bicycle Coalition has many great resources to check out and learn about. You can access these tools at:

https://sdbikecoalition.org/event/bike-theft-awareness-month/

Circulate San Diego is using Bike Theft Awareness Month to zero-in on the importance of bike locks! Unfortunately, some of our staff have had the terrible experience of having a bike stolen - even with it locked! Therefore, we don't want anyone else to ever experience this tragedy, and we want to help make bike riding (and locking) an enjoyable and care-free experience!
