Between 2002 and 2007, the rate of pedestrian crashes in City Heights was twice the rate citywide, according to Health Equity by Design.<\/p>\n<p>Along University Avenue between Boundary and 54th streets, participants noted precarious crossings, sidewalks too narrow for wheelchairs to pass, dangerous holes left by uprooted trees, and missing or too-steep curb cuts (ramps) that pose problems for wheelchair users.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe idea is to document and experience firsthand how the built environment affects our mobility and our safety,\u201d said organizer Randy Van Vleck, who ran smack into raised concrete with a wheelchair borrowed from the La Maestra Family Clinic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere were some areas where there was no pavement, and going over all of these bumps, the screws from my [wheelchair] foot plates came loose and started dropping,\u201d said Ian Dosland, a wheelchair user and hand cyclist. Dosland taught Van Vleck and others trying out the wheelchairs how to back into uneven curb cuts and drop from sidewalks without the accessibility feature.<\/p>\n<p>What stood out for most of the participants was how conditions changed the farther east they went. Through the Cherokee Point and Corridor business districts, sidewalks were much easier to use, even pleasant. There, the streets were built to accommodate a streetcar that ran east to Euclid Avenue. Emphasis was on wide walkways, trees and storefronts.<\/p>\n<p>Past Euclid, University Avenue widens to four lanes, sidewalks narrow and crosswalks are scattered up to six blocks apart.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately, after World War II the philosophy that was dominant in the United States, especially in southern California, was an auto-centric one,\u201d said Van Vleck. \u201cThe idea was to move cars as fast as possible. When we did that, we stopped planning for pedestrians and transit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Planners and groups like Van Vleck\u2019s are working to revert back to some of the features popular before the automobile era.<\/p>\n<p>In 2008, California lawmakers adopted the Complete Streets Act, which requires municipalities and urban planners to consider all types of road users when updating general plans and laying out projects. Cities, counties and transportation authorities have followed suit.<\/p>\n<p>Late last year, the San Diego City Council and Eastern Area Communities Planning Committee approved a\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/speakcityheights.org\/2011\/11\/new-market-revives-concern-about-dangerous-crossing\/\">plan for the intersection of University Avenue and 54th Street<\/a> that embraces complete streets ideas. There, cars can turn right through the intersection without stopping, thanks to separate turn lanes that function like freeway on-ramps.<\/p>\n<p>According to Van Vleck, 77 crashes happened there between 2000 and 2010, making it one of San Diego\u2019s most dangerous intersections.<\/p>\n<table width=\"270\" align=\"left\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/speakcityheights.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/54thPlans.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-4027\" title=\"54thPlans\" src=\"http:\/\/speakcityheights.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/54thPlans.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/speakcityheights.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/54thPlans.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/speakcityheights.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/54thPlans-300x165.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 10px; line-height: 11px;\">Plans for University Avenue and 54th Street intersection<br \/>\n| \u00a0Courtesy of Randy Van Vleck<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Together with city staff, consultants and other advocacy groups, the Built Environment Team helped draw up plans that will slow right turns through the intersection by filling the separate turn lanes with green space. Cars will have to drive up to a perpendicular intersection before turning.<\/p>\n<p>The approved plan is another win in a series of small-but-significant successes for City Heights residents. In September, city workers <a href=\"http:\/\/speakcityheights.org\/2011\/09\/a-dangerous-city-heights-intersections-new-crosswalk\/\">painted a crosswalk<\/a> and improved visibility at University Avenue and 50th Street at the behest of nearby residents and shop owners, who saw 20 pedestrian accidents there between 2005 and 2010.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was really pleased with what I found,\u201d said Theresa Quiroz, treasurer of the City Heights CDC, after the first leg of the walk. \u201cWhen I first arrived here, we had some really unworkable streets and it\u2019s become a lot more easy to walk around. The sidewalks are better, there are a lot more ramps to make it so that you can get from the sidewalk to the road and back up again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More quick fixes\u2014like adding a curb ramp at 48th Street and University Avenue or filling in empty planters\u2014could be on the way. Staff members from Councilwoman Marti Emerald\u2019s office and SANDAG planner Beth Robrahn were also on the walking tour taking notes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat the people of City Heights want is complete streets,\u201d Van Vleck said. \u201cWe know that they work in other neighborhoods. We know where the funding is to do it. The next step is to implement it and put those things into the ground.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>To get involved, contact Randy Van Vleck at rvanvleck@cityheightscdc.org or (619) 584-1535.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/speakcityheights.org\/2012\/05\/haciendo-que-sea-mas-facil-caminar-y-rodar-en-city-heights\/\">Haga click aqu\u00ed para leerlo la en Espa\u00f1ol<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>[Correction: The original version of this article said a curb cut is needed at 48th Street and University Avenue.
