Circulate San Diego Has Always Been an Abundance Organization

Circulate is a leading advocate for policies across a range of domains, including public transit, street infrastructure, and what we call sustainable growth. We often advocate for our issues to get a higher priority, or more funding. But often government already says they want to make our issues a priority, and even dedicate real funding to our causes. The bigger challenge can be to get governments to use their existing resources well, to actually produce the outcomes they say they want to achieve.

Earlier this week, our CEO and General Counsel Colin Parent posted writeup about how Circulate is a part of the growing “Abundance Movement.” If you have not heard much about the Abundance Movement, that is about to change. Several books are being released this spring, including Derek Thompson and Ezra Klein’s “Abundance which was published this week.

Recap: March’s Walk and Bike To School Days

March has been a busy month for Circulate, dedicated to teaching students about pedestrian and bicycle safety.

This month, we partnered with local schools to host four Walk and Bike to School Days! Last week, we kicked off with Chula Vista Learning Community Charter Middle School, followed by three more events this week at King Chavez Primary Academy, Burbank Elementary, and Museum School.

It was inspiring to see so many students walking, biking, and rolling to school. Circulate had a blast handing out safety items and educational materials to students and parents.

Thank you to the schools, students, and families who participated—we look forward to more Walk and Bike School Day events ahead!

Our new page for Assembly Bill 1287

In 2023, Circulate San Diego co-sponsored Assembly Bill 1287, which created one of the most productive and impactful housing reforms in California.

The law was authored by Assemblymember David Alvarez and signed by Governor Newsom. It expanded upon California Density Bonus Law, allowing projects to be twice as large as underlying zoning, if they include a percentage of permanently affordable homes. The bill creates a win-win for more affordable and market-rate homes.

This week we launched a new web page to feature the bill. It includes history, FAQs, and links to the many news articles written about projects that are using the new tool.
