Friday is a day many people in Pacific Beach have been hoping for: the removal of the Diamond Street bollards.
The bollards were installed at Diamond Street's intersections with Fanuel and Cass streets as a pilot program to the city of San Diego’s Slow Streets Program
“It does benefit me personally," skate Autumn Love said."Going through it does slow traffic, so that’s nice." “That’s what we are dealing with — the animosity. The animosity about the bollards. The animosity toward anyone that wants to use the street for anything other than driving as fast as they can,“ Sweet said.The street-calming posts on Diamond Street in Pacific Beach are off to a rough start.
Pacific Beach Planning Group Chairperson Marcella Bothwell says the members voted unanimously to send a letter to the mayor’s office asking they be removed. In part of the letter, the mayor wrote: “The city will utilize the results and lessons learned in future implementation of the Slow Streets Program as well as other traffic calming and Vision Zero projects.”
