Policy Letter: Appointing Coastal Commissioners Who Support Housing and Climate Goals
Today, Circulate and our allies have sent a letter to Governor Newsom, Speaker Rivas, and Senate President Pro Tempore McGuire asking them to appoint or reappoint California Coastal Commissioners who:
1) are committed to building housing,
2) have skills to effectively rein in a historically unaccountable staff, and
3) represent all Californians.

Policy Letter: #FixTheFatal15 in San Diego's FY2026 Budget
Circulate submitted a letter to San Diego's Mayor and City Council asking that they prioritize street safety by fixing the "Fatal 15" deadliest intersections in San Diego. Even as our long term policies improve, pedestrian fatalities in San Diego continue to rise. Fixing those intersections where the largest numbers of pedestrians die should be a major priority.

PRESS RELEASE - Surviving Family Members of Those Killed Call for Safer Streets at “World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims”
PRESS RELEASE
Surviving Family Members of Those Killed Call for Safer Streets at “World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims”
November 17, 2024, San Diego - As the sun set over Alice Birney Park on Sunday evening, surviving family members of San Diegans killed in traffic crashes stood in a silent vigil. They were joined by community leaders and advocates observing The World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims, and paying respects to the 258 people killed on San Diego county’s roads last year.
Families for Safe Streets San Diego (FSSSD) is a group of San Diego families who have lost loved ones to traffic violence while they were walking or biking. They placed 258 pairs of empty shoes at Alice Birney Joint Use Field to represent the 258 people who were killed in traffic crashes in San Diego County in 2023. They shared the stories of loved ones they have lost to crashes, and called on the City of San Diego to implement 3 specific cost-effective solutions that will save lives: 1) Improve dangerous roads, including the “Fatal 15”; 2) Reduce speed limits in school zones by implementing AB43; 3) Increase safety on the 6 Critical Corridors - the most dangerous pedestrian corridors in San Diego, which are all along routes to school.
FSSSD members were joined by advocates and community leaders in the ceremony, including Circulate San Diego, BikeSD, The San Diego County Bicycle Coalition, and City Heights Community Development.
The speakers focused on the theme of Getting Our Kids to School Safely. 46 of the shoes and backpacks on display were child-sized, representing the 46 youngsters killed on our roads last year. Councilmember Stephen Whitburn observed, "As we hold this vigil outside of an elementary school, we know that parents are afraid to let their children walk to school."
Manny Rodriguez of City Heights Community Development talked about the importance to the neighborhood he serves: “Traffic Violence and Safe Routes to School is a top issue in City Heights and the San Diego region, we must work harder to make Vision Zero not just a vision but a reality.”
Two of speakers, who were each severely injured when they were hit by drivers, brought home how these crashes could be any one of us. "I was following every rule," said high school student Caleb Swett from his wheelchair, describing being hit on the way to school.
Obstetrician Anna Cornelius-Schecter said that right before a speeding driver put her in the hospital with a near-fatal brain injury, "I had just shown my friends all the lights and safety features on my bike and my extra reflectors and new helmet."
Families for Safe Streets founder Laura Keenan mourned the loss of her husband Matt. “I remember saying to him as he left the house, ‘I'll see you later’ and the next morning I had to explain to our 15-month-old son that his father wasn't coming home.”. Keenan cited Circulate San Diego’s report “Vision Zero at Ten Years” saying “We have had Vision Zero for ten years and despite good plans, deaths continue to go up.”
San Diego City Councilmembers Stephen Whitburn and Joe LaCava also attended to pay their respects and call for redoubled efforts. As the daylight faded on the gathered crowd, the two councilmembers echoed the theme that time was up, and plans and intentions are no longer acceptable measuring sticks for street safety.
"It should not take as long as it does to get these safety measures into place,” said Councilmember Stephen Whitburn.
Circulate San Diego Policy Counsel Will Moore agreed, saying, “Ultimately, Vision Zero has been a major step forward. But by itself, a vision is not enough. When an admirable vision is only partially implemented, the good intentions behind it start to lose credibility.”
Councilmember Joe LaCava captured the mood of all present, adding simply “The time for words has passed.”

PRESS RELEASE
Circulate Releases “Vision Zero at Ten Years” Citing Increased Pedestrian Deaths
Contact: Will Moore, Policy Counsel, Circulate San Diego - 858-210-7999 | [email protected]
On Tuesday, November 12, at 8 AM, Circulate San Diego released its latest report – “Vision Zero at Ten Years – Struggling Forward in a Safety Crisis.” This report analyzes San Diego’s efforts to make our streets safer for everyone and finds that despite commendable efforts by the City, more pedestrians are being killed than they were ten years ago. Circulate’s Policy Counsel, Will Moore, presented the report’s findings, backed by families of pedestrians and cyclists killed in traffic crashes.
Circulate launched the report with a press conference at the intersection at University Avenue and 44th Street in the City Heights neighborhood of San Diego. That intersection is one of San Diego’s “Fatal 15,” the name given to the fifteen deadliest intersections in the city. The location was chosen because the deadly intersection is now a construction zone as it undergoes safety improvements. The backdrop served as an apt metaphor for the substantial – but still unfinished – improvements that the city is too-slowly making.
In 2015, Circulate helped push the City of San Diego to adopt Vision Zero – committing to eliminate traffic-related deaths by 2025. Since then, San Diego has made commendable strides toward improving road safety, implementing a range of measures designed to protect pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers. For example, the city has begun designing roads to be safe for all users, not just drivers. It has also established a practical approach to reduce injuries and deaths even when drivers and pedestrians make inevitable mistakes.
Despite these initiatives, deaths continue to rise. Deaths in San Diego are rising more slowly than the abysmal national trend – but that is no solace to the dozens of families who lose loved ones on our streets every year.
San Diego’s new approach, while praiseworthy, has not ripened into enough fully implemented safety measures to decrease deaths – much less bring them to zero. The report recommends increasing resources and expanding efforts to reduce costs and to speed up construction. Circulate and its Vision Zero allies call on the City to implement its plans with the urgency and commitment this safety crisis demands.
Moore summed up the report’s findings, saying, “Vision Zero has been a major step forward. But by itself, a vision is not enough. When an admirable vision is only partially implemented, the good intentions behind it start to lose credibility. And worse yet, our fellow San Diegans continue to die on our streets. We can do better.”

Vision Zero at Ten Years
Read moreReport Summary
In 2015, Circulate helped push the City of San Diego to adopt Vision Zero – committing to eliminate non-motorist traffic deaths by 2025. This has resulted in much needed, partially successful, reforms to the City’s transportation planning structure. Yet by any measure, more pedestrians and cyclists are being killed in crashes on San Diego’s streets than ten years ago.
The report examines fatality trends from 2012 to 2023, using data from all levels of government - federal, state and local. With very little variance, they all tell the same story: pedestrian deaths in San Diego have increased.
This reflects a broader national increase, driven by factors like larger vehicle use, high-speed incidents, and insufficient street lighting. San Diego’s proactive measures such as traffic calming and increased crosswalk visibility, have not been enough to counteract that national trend.
Even so, since adopting Vision Zero, San Diego has made commendable strides toward improving road safety, implementing a range of measures designed to protect pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers. Key efforts include adopting a Complete Streets policy, applying a Safe Systems approach, and implementing quick-build projects to improve pedestrian safety. Circulate recommends continuing to implement these good ideas.
But this new approach, while praiseworthy, has not ripened into enough fully implemented safety measures to decrease deaths. It has fallen far short of the commitment to bring the deaths to zero.
Therefore, while this report praises the City for its promising gains in planning. Circulate and its Vision Zero allies call on the City to implement its plans with the urgency and commitment this safety crisis demands. The report’s recommendations focus on reducing costs, speeding processes, implementing fair traffic enforcement techniques, and dramatically increasing resources dedicated to this problem.
Ultimately, Vision Zero has been a major step forward. But by itself, a vision is not enough. When an admirable vision is only partially implemented, the good intentions behind it start to lose credibility. And worse yet, our fellow San Diegans continue to die on our streets. We can do better.

A Haunting Halloween Reminder: Drivers Be Alert for Little Ghosts and Goblins on the Go
San Diego, Calif. – Halloween is the ultimate pedestrian holiday (during National Pedestrian Safety Month, no less) with little kids and their adults trick-or-treating in fun costumes. But the deadliest monster in your neighborhood doesn’t need a costume: it’s your car!
Circulate San Diego is issuing a fang-tastic reminder encouraging drivers to be extra careful as more children are out walking the neighborhood haunting for treats.
“Driving under the influence turns an eerie night into a real-life nightmare,” Circulate San Diego Planning Director Carlisle Dockery said. “If your night involves boos at a Halloween party, make sure you plan for a sober ride home. Even one drink can impair judgment.”
Halloween night can be especially dangerous on our nation’s roads. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), adults between the ages of 21 and 34 had the highest percentage (54%) of fatalities in drunk-driving crashes on Halloween night between 2018 and 2022.
Whether you are celebrating the spirit of Halloween or Día de los Muertos, Circulate San Diego offers the following tips for families to be as safe as possible and share the road safely:
-
- Remember that cars don’t need costumes because they are already the deadliest monsters in our community.
- Don’t drive at all if you don’t have to - take the trolley or bus, or bike, or catch a cab!
- Slow down and watch out for more foot traffic in residential neighborhoods.
- Take extra time looking for trick-or-treaters at intersections and entering/exiting driveways.
- Never drive distracted or impaired.
- If you are heading to a local bar, restaurant or house party and plan to drink, bring the designated sober driver with you, use public transit or a ride-hailing service, or stay the night.
- Stick to familiar, well-lit routes.
Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

PRESS RELEASE - SD City Council Allows Desperately Needed Housing in University City
PRESS RELEASE
City of San Diego Authorizes Desperately Needed Additional Housing In University City
Contact: Will Moore, Policy Counsel, Circulate San Diego - 858-210-7999 | [email protected]
Today, on July 30, 2024, the San Diego City Council adopted a major update to the decades-old University Community Plan. The new plan builds on the growth of San Diego’s biotech and communications industry hubs and allows for desperately needed housing in the University City Neighborhood. This new University Community Plan allows for approximately 30,000 potential additional homes and approximately 60,000 new potential new jobs in coming years.
Circulate, alongside its allies, has championed updating this plan to address the urgent need for increased homes and access to transit in our region. Circulate’s report "Making the Most of The Mid-Coast Trolley" highlighted the significant benefits the University City community could enjoy from expanding housing options in the area. Adding capacity for jobs and homes is essential to getting the economic, climate, and equity benefits of the $2.2 billion investment in the Mid-Coast Trolley.
While this updated plan authorizes twice as much housing capacity in the area, these plans are usually updated on thirty-year time-frames. Over such a time span, that represents only a 2.4% rate of annual growth.
The City’s Environmental Impact Report concluded that a higher-density option, which would have added even more housing capacity, would have been the "environmentally superior alternative." A broad, demographically representative sample of 2,600 residents were surveyed in 2021 and overwhelmingly supported that more robust alternative. Circulate and other community groups promoted that alternative over the past three years. Sadly, the City shrunk from the opportunity to adopt that more aggressive option.
Nonetheless, the adopted new plan represents a major step forward. University City will be a pivotal regional hub for San Diego for generations to come. Circulate is heartened to see that the newly-adopted University Community Plan reflects this reality.
Will Moore, Policy Director of Circulate San Diego, said that “Ultimately, this University Community Plan Update is a major victory for the region. It takes advantage of our substantial infrastructure investments, making the most of the Mid-Coast trolley. In the long term, this update will make San Diego a better place for our both leading industries and the families in our community.”

PRESS RELEASE - Metropolitan Transit System Implements Easy Fare Payments
PRESS RELEASE
Metropolitan Transit System Implements Easy Fare Payments
Contact: Will Moore, Policy Counsel, Circulate San Diego - 858-210-7999 | [email protected]
This week, the Metropolitan Transit System updated its PRONTO payment system to make fares easier to pay using contactless payments. Now riders can pay fares with their bank cards (debit cards, credit cards, prepaid cards), and mobile wallets (e.g. Apple Pay, Google pay, etc.).
Previously, if you had a guest in town, they would have to download the PRONTO app and set up an account before they could join you on a simple trolley ride to the ballpark. Now they can just tap their credit card on the reader at the station or on the bus. It’s the same way many people already pay for things at a store.
Will Moore, Policy Director for Circulate said, “This will benefit all riders of the system, since a familiar payment system reduces confusion and gets everybody on the trolley or the bus faster.”
Connor Proctor, a founding member of Ride SD said, “This will make it simple and easy for San Diegans to start using public transit, helping our region meet its climate action goals.”
Circulate has urged MTS to implement free transfers and stored value since 2016, recommendations that were implemented by the creation of the PRONTO system. RideSD and Circulate have both urged the implementation of a robust system for easy fare payment. The most recent letters from both organizations, explaining the benefits of the new system, are linked here and here, and attached to this Press Release. Circulate also detailed how easy fare payments improve service times in its October 2022 report “Fast Bus.”
We commend MTS staff for working to quickly release contactless payments with free transfers. However, the new system as launched lacks important features: riders should be able to benefit from fare-capping and should be able to register their bank cards to their transit accounts to take advantage of reduced fares. These features are said to be forthcoming, but unfortunately do not have an announced timeline for implementation. Circulate and RideSD will continue to advocate that MTS promptly complete the implementation of the new easier fare payment system.
Circulate and RideSD are pleased to see this change, giving San Diegans improved, faster, and easier-to-use transit options.

A Better Coastal Commission
Read moreReport Summary
In recent years, the California Legislature has adopted a variety of new policies to encourage more affordable homes, reduce residential segregation, and fight climate change. Unfortunately, the California Coastal Commission has often undermined or ignored the adopted policy direction of the Legislature, and it needs reform.
The California Coastal Commission has an important and longstanding mission to preserve access to the coast for all Californians. The Legislature has granted the Coastal Commission authority under the Coastal Act to review and approve housing and transportation projects near the coast.
Housing reform legislation in recent years has largely focused on providing easier approval for projects that include deed-restricted affordable homes, especially in high opportunity areas. These policies serve multiple goals: increasing affordability, reducing residential segregation, and allowing people to reduce their impact on the climate by having to drive shorter distances or to drive less frequently.
A core example of that sort of legislation is California Density Bonus Law. Density Bonus Law precludes the denial of a housing development, and grants a variety of waivers and concessions, if a project includes a certain number of deed-restricted affordable homes. Existing legislation requires Density Bonus Law to be harmonized with the Coastal Act.
This report documents numerous examples where the Coastal Commission has resisted, opposed, and delayed the construction of deed-restricted affordable homes that use programs like Density Bonus Law. This is even true for projects on land that is already zoned for multi-family housing, in plans already approved by the Coastal Commission itself.
Similarly, this report documents examples where the Coastal Commission opposes projects that the Legislature encourages as a part of California’s efforts to combat climate change. Crosswalks, bicycle lanes, and infill development near transit are all goals of recent statewide legislation, yet the Coastal Commission opposes or delays many of these projects. Their decisions to prioritize car travel above all other modes is inconsistent with modern climate goals, as adopted by the Legislature.
This report recommends the following reforms for the Coastal Commission:
- Amend Density Bonus Law to require its implementation by the Coastal Commission, as proposed in AB 2560 (2024).
- Remove or narrow the special exemptions that keep housing reforms from applying to the coast.
- Mandate procedural reforms at the Coastal Commission.
- Apply transportation and climate policy to the Coastal Zone.
- Avoid creating, or narrowly draw, coastal exemptions to new housing legislation.
- Look skeptically on Coastal Commission requests for more authority.
The Legislature is the only body capable of fixing this problem. With reforms, the Legislature can create a better Coastal Commission.

California faces a housing crisis, and the California Coastal Commission is not helping. In a new report, Circulate San Diego investigates how the Coastal Commission, which is supposed to be one of California’s great progressive institutions, continually opposes affordable housing and climate-friendly transportation projects.
This has had major ripple effects on housing markets statewide, as more people are forced to move away from the coastal areas where they have previously lived and worked, driving up prices in traditionally more affordable inland communities. Ironically, in doing so, the Coastal Commission (which was created to “protect and enhance California’s coast”) is also hindering California’s attempts to cut greenhouse gas emissions by forcing longer car commutes and blocking projects that aren’t car-friendly.
Multiple case studies in the report highlight how this has happened with specific planned projects in San Diego and Encinitas, as well as other coastal communities in Los Angeles and Santa Cruz. The report also offers solutions that the Coastal Commission can embrace to do better, fulfill its mission and match its words to its actions.
The report, “A Better Coastal Commission,” will officially launch publicly on Friday, June 14, during a press conference at Spanish Landing Park in San Diego. The park is near the site of a case study highlighted in the report: West Point Loma Blvd., where Coastal Commission officials denied a bike lane, which resulted in a major accident this year that gravely injured a 41-year-old cyclist.

Press Release - City Council Adds Funding To #FixTheFatal15
PRESS RELEASE – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
San Diego City Council Improves Street Safety in San Diego by Adding Funding to #FixTheFatal15
Contact: Will Moore, Policy Counsel, Circulate San Diego - 858-210-7999 | [email protected]
Throughout this year’s budget process, Circulate San Diego and our Vision Zero Coalition allies have highlighted the worst intersections in San Diego, the Fatal 15. We have urged cost-effective recommendations for their improvement.
Road safety is an intractable problem that kills around fifty San Diegans per year. San Diego committed to Vision Zero years ago, but deaths remain stubbornly high. The City Council showed strong leadership today by adding funds for road safety. But the intractable problem of pedestrian and cyclist deaths will continue without strong leadership from all of our elected officials.
The Vision Zero coalition was pleased to see eight intersections slated for rehabilitation in Mayor Gloria's proposed budget. But we were disappointed that this meant “Seven Deadly Leftovers” were not included in the proposed FY2025 budget from Mayor Gloria’s office. Without a change, they would have remained in their dangerous condition for another year.
Over the past month Circulate and our Vision Zero allies have called for additional funding to fix the “Seven Deadly Leftovers.” Family members of victims and other activists held press conferences and rallies at dangerous intersections, wrote policy letters, and organized direct communications from community members to city elected officials.
Tonight, all nine City Councilmembers showed leadership by banding together to #FixTheFatal15 and adding additional funds to the transportation budget for road safety. Said Circulate Policy Counsel Will Moore, “Circulate and our Vision Zero allies thank all of the members of the City Council for finding the funds for Vision Zero and to #FixTheFatal15.”

Circulate San Diego and Vision Zero Coalition Urge Council To Adopt IBA Recommendation To #FixTheFatal15
PRESS RELEASE
Circulate San Diego and Vision Zero Coalition Allies Call on City Council to Follow Through on IBA Recommendation To Add $785,000 To #FixTheFatal15
Contact: Will Moore, Policy Counsel, Circulate San Diego - 858-210-7999 | [email protected]
Throughout this year’s budget process, Circulate San Diego and our Vision Zero Coalition allies have highlighted the worst intersections in San Diego, the Fatal 15. We have urged cost-effective recommendations for their improvement.
In prior years, Mayor Faulconer funded fixes for the Fatal 15, for which he was widely praised in the press. This year, we were pleased to see eight of the Fatal 15 slated for rehabilitation the draft budgets released by Mayor Gloria. But we were disappointed that this meant “Seven Deadly Leftovers” would remain in their dangerous condition.
Fortunately, every member of the City Council responded by highlighting the need to improve street safety for pedestrians – almost all of them calling out Vision Zero and the Fatal 15 by name in their May budget memos.
On June 4, 2024, the Independent Budget Analyst released a report analyzing those councilmember priorities. Thankfully, the IBA suggested that additional amounts be “appropriated to eligible existing Vision Zero - Fixing the Most Dangerous Intersection capital projects” in the amount of $785,000, as requested by our coalition. This is a step on the way to a victory for road safety.
On Friday, June 7, 2024, the City Council Budget Committee will have the opportunity to make San Diego safer by adopting that IBA recommendation. Circulate and our Vision Zero Coalition allies urge them to follow through by adopting the modification outlined on p. 6 of the June 4 IBA report – dedicating $785,000 to fund Vision Zero and #FixTheFatal15.

PRESS CONFERENCE: Rally to Fix The Fatal 15 with Families for Safe Streets San Diego and BikeSD
Contact: Jeremy Bloom, Chief Operating Officer, Circulate San Diego, 315-250-9199, [email protected]
When: Friday, May 31, 2024 at 1:00 p.m.
Where: Corner of Market St. and 19th St., San Diego, CA 92102
Who:
- Michelle Gonzalez of Families for Safe Streets San Diego
- Anar Salayev of BikeSD
What: On Friday, May 31 at 1:00 p.m, Families for Safe Streets San Diego and BikeSD will lead a rally against traffic violence at the intersection of Market and 19th Street in San Diego.
Market and 19th is one of the Fatal 15 intersections – the deadliest intersections in San Diego. It’s where Families for Safe Streets San Diego member Katie Gordon’s husband Jason was struck by a car and killed while he was walking to the store. He is survived by Katie and their one-year-old twin daughters.
Nearly 50 pedestrians and cyclists lose their lives in traffic crashes in San Diego every year. San Diego committed to Vision Zero in 2015, but pedestrian deaths remain stubbornly high.
Advocates have called upon the City of San Diego to Fix the Fatal 15. But the planned 2025 budget only fixes eight of the intersections. This means the Seven Deadly Leftovers will linger in their dangerous state for another year.
Families for Safe Streets San Diego is a group of San Diego families who have lost loved ones to traffic violence while they were walking or biking. BikeSD is a community organization dedicated to the improvement of bicycle infrastructure in San Diego.

PRESS RELEASE
Fix the Fatal 15 – Circulate and Victims of Traffic Violence Call on the City of San Diego to Repair San Diego’s Most Dangerous Intersections
Contact: Will Moore, Policy Counsel, Circulate San Diego - 858-210-7999 | [email protected]
On Monday, May 13, 2024 at 8:00 a.m, Circulate San Diego, Families for Safe Streets San Diego, and the San Diego County Bicycle Coalition held a press conference at one San Diego’s Fatal 15 deadliest intersections – Rosecrans St. and Moore St. in the Midway district – calling on the City of San Diego to Fix the Fatal 15.
They called upon the City of San Diego to include in the FY 25 Budget cost-effective improvements to the city’s 15 deadliest intersections. These fixes include:
- Stripes – Paint ladder or zebra stripes across the crosswalk for increased visibility
- Signal – Install a countdown signal
- Sound – Audible prompts to let people know when it is safe to cross
Nearly 50 pedestrians and cyclists lose their lives in traffic crashes in San Diego every year. San Diego committed to Vision Zero in 2015, but pedestrian deaths remain stubbornly high.
Chloe Lauer, Executive Director of the San Diego County Bicycle Coalition observed that “54% of serious injury crashes occur on just 6% of our roadways. By addressing a small portion of the network we can cut fatal crashes in half.”
Families for Safe Streets member Katie Gordon’s husband Jason was killed at one of the Fatal 15 intersections, he is survived by their one-year-old twin daughters. Gordon said “Small improvements make a big impact. Please don’t let the Fatal 15 take another life.”
Will Moore, Policy Counsel for Circulate San Diego said “This is a high-return, low-cost budget item. We understand that it is difficult to run a city. There are a lot of hard decisions – so it is even more important to get the easy ones right. Fix the Fatal 15.”

MEDIA ADVISORY
PRESS CONFERENCE: Fix the Fatal 15 – Circulate and Victims of Traffic Violence Call on the City of San Diego to Repair San Diego’s Most Dangerous Intersections
Contact: Will Moore, Policy Counsel, Circulate San Diego - 858-210-7999 | [email protected]
When: Monday, May 13, 2024 at 8:00 a.m.
Where: The Intersection of Rosecrans St and Moore St, near the Midway neighborhood of San Diego.
Who:
- Will Moore, Policy Counsel, Circulate San Diego
- Katie Gordon, Families for Safe Streets San Diego
What: Fix the Fatal 15 – Circulate and its vision zero allies call on the City of San Diego to Repair San Diego’s Most Dangerous Intersections.
Our community's most vulnerable road users are in crisis. On average, nearly 50 pedestrians and cyclists lose their lives in traffic crashes within the city each year. San Diego committed to Vision Zero in 2015, but pedestrian deaths have not changed substantially, remaining stubbornly high.
Circulate and its allies have called upon the City of San Diego to include in the FY 25 Budget cost-effective improvements to make the 15 most deadly intersections in the City safer. These include:
- Stripes – Paint ladder or zebra stripes across the crosswalk for increased visibility
- Signal – Install a countdown signal
- Sound – Make sure the signal has audible prompts to let people know when it is safe to cross
These repairs and improvements are modest in cost, but will provide a high return in lives saved. The City of San Diego will spend large sums of money on transportation in this coming budget, and we are merely asking that a reasonable share of that spending be dedicated to do the most good and to save the most lives.
