We know what works. Only thing lacking is political will.

Whenever you see a group's name start with the word "save" you can be pretty sure their aim is to go backward, not forward.

As they say, if you want to get away with murder, do it with a car.

6-year-old boy killed Saturday in a hit-and-run in Pacific Beach Police said the driver stopped after knocking the boy from his bike, then ran him over before leaving the scene.

Horrific. I hope the driver spends the rest of his life behind bars.

Redirect traffic at 33rd and Upas, where 33rd narrows from 45' to 30'. We had a whole system of how to make it work safely and reasonably. This street just can't handle the traffic. We've had road humps for 2 years now, and they've certainly helped, but the crashes keep happening.

The latest crash on 33rd Street for those following along! Yesterday between Upas and Thorn. The road humps have helped, but this small residential street can't safely facilitate heavy volumes of traffic going to/from the 805. Waiting on Transportation Dept to address our October recommendations.

Just walked past Kyle Mooney in the Gaslamp, flagged him down and awkwardly wished him Happy Opening Day, as one does. #PadresStuff

One of the surprising things I learned from this book is that throughout US history, when presented with info about injustice, poor working conditions, etc., the wealthy and powerful simply did the right thing.

J/k a lot of people died in the struggle for fairness in a system stacked against them.

Technically they will approve speed humps, which are more forgiving to drivers, not speed bumps, which are more aggressive in slowing drivers down. In the overall calculus, seems like a mistake to allow daily speeding through a residential area b/c Fire *might* need to rush through here sometime.

It’s the right question. We submitted a proposal that would close 33rd to the 805 and redirect traffic to the approved N/S arteries in the area: 30th, 32nd, etc.

But if not that, then you have to actually slow drivers down on 33rd with speed bumps and other infrastructure to enforce safety.

These small residential streets were develeoped decades before the 805 plowed through the area. They were never designed to safefly facilitate heavy volumes of traffic using them to access an interstate. The city needs to close 33rd access to the 805, similar to how 28th was closed at Pershing.

North Park residents express concerns about roundabout near 33rd and Landis Street Signs alerting drivers to slow down were placed along a roundabout in a North Park neighborhood.

www.cbs8.com/article/news... The Transportation Dept's survey data from 2022 (prior to the speedhumps being installed) showed that 33rd St carries heavy volumes of traffic not typcially permitted on residential streets. Bottom line: 33rd St can't safely convey commuters to/from the 805.

Thanks for the kind words, but I'm actually in a small neighborhood called Altadena in San Diego. It's a tiny pocket of North Park that few people even know is a thing πŸ˜‚

People always cry about a potential β€œbig brother” surveillance state, but y’all have proved you can’t behave. Can’t stay out of bus and bike lanes, speeding 15+ MPH over the limit, running reds, etc. Bring in the cameras.
