Recap: June Bike and Transit Event

Circulate kicked off the summer with a series of engaging transit and bike trips. We had an amazing time exploring public art by bike in City Heights, thanks to the enthusiastic participation of our attendees.

Our transit journey from downtown to District 5 led us to a beautiful, albeit very hot, hike, showcasing the natural beauty of our city accessible by transit. And, we rode the # 11 bus up to the Mission Hills Library in District 3 for the exciting unveiling of the San Diego Pride Library Card.

Thanks to the City of San Diego for their support of these efforts and to all our participants for making these events memorable.

Don't miss out on any of our upcoming events! Check out our calendar here for more information.

Recap: Naval Base Coronado Bike Rodeo

The final weekend of June, Circulate hosted a bike rodeo in Coronado alongside the Naval Base Coronado’s Community Recreation team. Circulate interacted with several children and their families, teaching important skills such as avoidance maneuvers, signaling, rules of the road, helmet fitting, and basic maintenance in a safe and controlled environment. Ultimately, children left the bike rodeo more confident in their riding abilities. Additionally, we handed out bicycle and pedestrian safety gear and materials that the children enjoyed.

Recap: CPPS D8 and D9 Walk Audits

Thanks to the 2024 CPPS grant, Circulate had the pleasure of leading two walk audits in District 8 and District 9 at the end of June. These walks were attended by District 8 and 9 representatives and residents of these communities. During the audits, participants observed and provided input on issues that make walking and biking unsafe or uncomfortable along the route as well as what pedestrian improvements they would like to see implemented.

On the D8 walk, participants walked to Grant Hill Park and Stockton Rec Center where they encountered missing or faded crosswalks and broken sidewalks. Participants had a short walk from Rosa Parks Elementary School to a Fatal 15 intersection (University Avenue and 44th Street) where they encountered rectangular rapid flashing beacon in need of repair causing unsafe pedestrian and bicyclist crossings.
