MLU-3.1. Safe and Enjoyable Routes for Pedestrians and Cyclists

Core Benefits

Core benefits of this measure are Air Quality and Public Health

Introduction

Choosing to walk, bike, or roll rather than drive to some destinations offers numerous benefits. Not only does it promote better health and well-being, but it also reduces transportation costs and contributes to a cleaner environment. By simply replacing some car trips with walking or biking, San Diegans can make a meaningful impact on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and pollution.

The actions in this measure are meant to create a safe, connected, and convenient network for pedestrians and cyclists in order to encourage people to incorporate these alternative transportation modes into their travel options.

How to explore the Actions section

Some actions are part of a sequence: completing one action may be necessary for the success of another, or may make another action easier to complete. The >> symbol on an action card indicates that it is part of a sequence. Hover over the >> symbol to see the full sequence of actions.

The color bar at the top of each action provides information about the implementation timeline.

• Gray = either the implementation timeline is not yet available, or the action is continuous (there is no completion date)
• Green = the action is proceeding on time; the color gets darker as the action nears completion
• Yellow = the action is delayed or late
