Circulate San Diego submitted four letters in support of the City of National City's submissions for SANDAG Smart Growth Incentive Program (SGIP) grants.
The SGIP grant application for separated bike lanes on Civic Center Drive will result in the construction of separated bike lanes on Civic Center Drive from Wilson Avenue to Harbor Drive. This is a key connection to the fully-funded Bayshore Bikeway – Segment 5 for the disadvantaged residents of National City. Read the entire letter here.
The SGIP grant application for Highland Avenue Mobility Mini-Hubs will implement a number of technologies that support the mobility hub concept, including Wi-Fi, device charging ports, pedestrian-scale lighting, shelters, benches, trash receptacles, and intersection safety improvements, as applicable to the unique setting of the highest use bus stops along Highland Avenue.

The SGIP grant application for a Housing Supportive Infrastructure Assessment will allow the City to complete an assessment of the existing sewer, storm drain, lighting, pedestrian facilities (sidewalks, ADA compliance, pedestrian crossings, etc.), and roads to identify infrastructure needs to support high-density development. The process would include a prioritization process to develop lists of first and second-tier priority projects. Read the entire letter here.
The SGIP grant application for 16th and 18th Street Community Corridors will provide almost two and a half miles of bicycle facilities: 1.46 miles of Class III Bicycle Boulevard along 16th Street from Highland Avenue to Harbison Avenue, and 1 mile of Class IIIB Bicycle Boulevard along 18th Street from Palm Avenue to Rachael Avenue. Curb extensions, speed cushions, and lighted RRFB crossings will further improve the safety of these networks. Read the entire letter here.
