Norman Park Senior Center Walk Audit
Thanks to the OTS/City of Chula Vista Grant, Circulate had the opportunity to partner with Norman Park Senior Center’s Sole Walkers for a walk audit around their community on Tuesday, December 3rd.
Circulate guided the Sole Walkers through Downtown Chula Vista and around Friendship Park. It was a rewarding experience, as Circulate had the chance to converse with the Sole Walkers, who truly enjoyed participating in these audits and had valuable input to share.
The walk started on a positive note, as participants appreciated the wide sidewalks and shady trees along F Street, which created a comfortable environment. They also enjoyed the pedestrian-friendly nature of 3rd Avenue, where the spacious sidewalks allowed them to walk side by side.
However, uneven sidewalks were a concern, with one participant likening it to a roller coaster ride due to constant ups and downs. Additionally, the lack of crosswalks along Davidson Avenue made some participants uneasy, especially at busy intersections, highlighting the need for safer pedestrian infrastructure.
PRoject RECAP: 2023-2024 County of San Diego Bicycle and Pedestrian OTS Safety Program
This past year, Circulate and Vista Community Clinic (VCC) teamed up with the County of San Diego to bring bicycle and pedestrian safety programs to residents across the region! With support from the California Office of Traffic Safety, Circulate and VCC delivered a packed lineup of impactful events and programs that made San Diego’s streets safer and more accessible for everyone.
The Circulate and VCC team worked hard throughout the year to deliver on this project and is looking forward to doing it all again for the 2024-25 cycle!
