Del Cerro Pedestrian Audit Recap
This past weekend, Circulate partnered with Strong Towns San Diego to host a Walk and Talk pedestrian audit in Del Cerro. The group surveyed the busy intersections of Del Cerro Boulevard and College Avenue and assessed safety concerns for people walking and biking—particularly when crossing the bridge over Interstate 8.
After the audit, participants gathered to discuss their observations—what worked, what didn’t, and key safety concerns, especially around freeway on-ramps and off-ramps. The group noted frequent driver-pedestrian conflicts, overgrown vegetation narrowing sidewalks, and a general lack of pedestrian-friendly features like shade trees and pedestrian-scale lighting.
During the discussion portion, we explored ideas to improve the area, with a focus on making it safer and more comfortable for walkers, cyclists, and SDSU students traveling to and from campus.
Thank you to everyone who participated and helped document our findings.
Stay tuned for the full report!

District 8: A Gallery in the Streets
Circulate received a grant from the City of San Diego through the Arts, Culture, and Community Festivals (ACCF) program to create a self-guided walking/biking tour of street art found within District 8.
Circulate developed an interactive ArcGIS StoryMap which showcases various pieces of art found within District 8. Each art piece includes artist credits and additional information, where applicable. In addition to showcasing the art, the map displays all of the bike routes found within the San Diego region.
To learn more about the project and to view the StoryMap, check out our webpage HERE.
