Join Us at Live Well Advance on December 3rd
Danielle, Jana, and Angelica on the planning team will be presenting at the County of San Diego’s Live Well Advance Virtual Conference on December 3rd, along with our colleague, Sean Warner with the Downtown San Diego Partnership.
The discussion topic Curbside SD: Community Resilience During COVID-19 looks at the “Curbside San Diego” initiative, spearheaded by the Downtown San Diego Partnership with technical support from Circulate. The panelists will provide insight about how creative changes to the curbside foster community connections and promote business recovery.

Bikeways Update on 4th and 5th Avenue
We want to congratulate and recognize all of the great bicycle infrastructure work SANDAG and the City of San Diego are working hard to complete!
Over the past month, SANDAG crews continued construction of the Fourth and Fifth Avenue Bikeways in the City of San Diego. Crews continued construction of the median islands that will separate the bikeway from the parking and travel lanes on Fifth Avenue between Cedar and Laurel streets. Crews also constructed stormwater drainage improvements, upgraded curb ramps, and installed medians where landscaping will be planted at various intersections on Fourth Avenue between Cedar and Grape streets.

Understanding How Women Travel “Discussion On Women’s Mobility”
Our staff joined Pueblo Planning for this month’s Association of Pedestrian and Bicycle Professionals monthly webinar, Understanding How Women Travel “Discussion On Women’s Mobility.”
Circulate shared the qualitative research conducted in the City of San Diego exploring women’s perception of safety and experiences using sustainable transportation modes at night. 180 participants across the country joined in on the discussion.
This program was funded partly by a grant from SANDAG and the City of San Diego and by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Ballot Measures Recap – Measure E Success!
While there are still around 8,000 ballots left to be counted, San Diego voters have displayed that housing and homelessness are still big issues in our region. Circulate San Diego supported Measure A and Measure E, and both received over 56 percent of voter approval.
Even though Measure A, the $900M affordable housing bond, did not make it to the two-thirds threshold, it still shows majority voter support for housing and homelessness solutions.
San Diegans overwhelmingly approved Measure E, which removes the 30-foot coastal height limit in the Midway district. The passage of Measure E will make way for better mobility choices, transit-oriented development, and recreation opportunities to this important neighborhood, and will help address the City’s housing crisis.
Slow the 'F' Down!
Important Reminder: Slow the Fast Down
Sure, twenty twenty’s been different. You know what’s stayed the same? The speed limit. Take your time. Save a life. Look twice for pedestrians and bikers. Slow The Fast Down.
You can enter a drawing for Apple AirPods by submitting an answer for “Who would you slow the fast down for?”
