"That's obviously a way that you can reduce the likelihood of an injury or a fatality," Gloria said."When vehicles are moving at slower speeds, that definitely reduces the likelihood of that terrible thing happening."Seventy-two people died in traffic collisions on San Diego streets last year — a 16% jump compared to 2020 and 41% jump compared to 2019.
Gloria pointed to actions he has already taken to improve street safety, such as funding in this year's budget to hire a 12-person team dedicated to swiftly restriping streets with new bike lanes and crosswalks. But as of last week the city had managed to fill only two of those positions, and with less than four months left in the fiscal year, the team has yet to complete a single project.
