Circulate Launches Online Tool for San Diegans to Demand Safer Streets
San Diego, November 5, 2025 — Today, Circulate San Diego launched an online tool to help San Diegans generate an email to Mayor Todd Gloria and the San Diego City Council, demanding funding for safe streets.
Circulate, whose mission is to create excellent mobility choices and vibrant, healthy neighborhoods, is asking for the community’s help to call on our elected officials to fund road safety through our “Stop Deaths on Our Streets” campaign.
“Circulate and vision zero allies have been calling on the City to take road deaths seriously and invest in life-saving infrastructure,” said Aria Grossman, Policy Manager at Circulate. “Tragically, the City has not answered this call. By maintaining the status quo, the City is choosing to allow this trend of deaths to continue. It is time for the City to take action and make significant investments to save lives.”
Nearly 50 pedestrians and cyclists are killed on City of San Diego streets each year. The City has pledged to end traffic deaths, but these numbers are not budging. In just one week in late October, 11-year-old Andrew and 6-year-old Lucas were killed in separate crashes. San Diegans should be outraged. Act now and tell your elected officials to prevent future tragedies and dedicate funding to Stop Deaths on Our Streets.
Enough is enough. Circulate is inviting San Diegans who are horrified by these recent deaths of local children to make their voices heard. With Circulate’s online tool, San Diegans can write to their leaders directly. The tool and more information about the campaign are available at https://www.circulatesd.org/stop_deaths_on_our_streets.
