Advocates have called for safety improvements at San Diego’s 15 deadliest intersections for pedestrians and cyclists.
Advocates hold photos of loved ones who were hit and killed while walking or biking. They rallied on Friday, May 31, to call for funding to fix the 15 deadliest intersections in San Diego.“We hope that the transportation department recognizes where that advocacy came from,” said Will Moore, policy counsel for Circulate San Diego. “I would hope that they would consider the tears of the survivors at those intersections as they prioritize where to spend those funds.
“We’ve heard from spouses who’ve lost the loves of their lives to unnecessary traffic violence,” he said Tuesday. “We’ve heard from all parts of the city and all walks of life, and I think the common thread is love for community, love for their city and a deep belief that things can and should be better.”Katie Anastas is a general assignment reporter for KPBS News, covering a wide range of different issues that affect the diverse neighborhoods of San Diego County.
