Launch Party for #PlanDiego
You are cordially invited to join Circulate San Diego to celebrate our 2nd anniversary with the launch of #PlanDiego.
Great cities don’t just happen, they’re planned. On March 10, 2016 we are launching #PlanDiego, a region-wide initiative to make planning and land use smarter, more inclusive, and fun! Circulate San Diego will be releasing a series of position papers, hosting panel discussions, and organizing community events to elevate the discussion of planning and land use throughout the San Diego region over the coming year.
Wine and refreshments will be served.
Our launch event will be on the evening of March 10, 2016, at a rooftop open-house at the Circulate San Diego downtown office, 1111 6th Ave., 92101.
For sponsorship opportunities, contact Jim Stone, [email protected].
To volunteer for the planning of the event, contact Colin Parent, [email protected].

Vision Zero Press Conference Recap
Jaime Leonen was one of 23 people who died while walking in San Diego last year, and one of 54 people who died in traffic crashes. Circulate San Diego and Vision Zero Coalition partners BikeSD and AARP honored these lives in a press conference Tuesday, February 2 by placing 54 pairs of shoes on the steps of Civic Plaza. The numbers for 2015 represent a 17% increase in deaths for all modes, and a particularly alarming increase of 42% in serious injuries for pedestrians.
Downtown San Diego Draft Mobility Plan - Community Workshop #3
Please join the Downtown Community Planning Council’s Public Spaces Subcommittee and Civic San Diego for a formal presentation followed by public input at Community Workshop #3.
The Downtown San Diego Mobility Plan will establish policies, programs, and projects that will improve overall mobility throughout the Downtown San Diego area. The MobilityPlan will provide for the development of a balanced and cohesive network of complete streets, which will increase priority and safety for bicyclists and pedestrians, provide desirable connections for all users to key destinations, and support reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
