Advocating for more homes and better transit in University City
Last Tuesday, Circulate’s Policy Counsel, Jesse O’Sullivan, spoke in favor of more homes in the University Community Plan Update. This is a part of our continuing efforts around our report Making the Most of the Mid-Coast.
Transit Field Trips with The Keeler Court Community
This past week, Circulate hosted a series of transit field trips for Community HousingWorks' Keeler Court community. The purpose of these trips was to teach the residents how to use San Diego’s public transportation such as the buses and trolleys and showcase examples of locations that could be reached with public transit.
Through these trips, the Keeler Court residents were able to visit and experience San Diego State’s campus, experience the Padre’s victory over the Atlanta Braves on April 19th, and experience some beautiful wildlife at the Living Coast Discovery Center in Chula Vista.
We had a lot of fun hosting these and hope we can do some more in the near future!
Recap: Lincoln High School Walk Audit
Last Friday, Lincoln High School students participated in a walk audit along Imperial Avenue to provide feedback on what safe street changes they would like to see implemented in their community and shared their opinions on other project proposals by the County and City of San Diego. One project, Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health Program (REACH), proposes a series of roundabouts and other safe streets improvements along Imperial Avenue in South East San Diego between San Jacinto Drive and 55th Street. Other proposed changes include installing a bicycle lane between 47th and 49th Street.
The walk was approximately a mile long, between 49th street and San Jacinto Drive, and near multiple schools in the area. Students expressed their concerns on faded crosswalks, wanted more pedestrian scale lighting, and additional bus shelters for harsh weather conditions.
We are thankful for those who joined us on the hot Friday afternoon and for their insight as members of the community!
