San Diego city officials have done a lot over the last half century to revitalize downtown. As you can see in this picture it’s mostly been successful.
One thing that has happened in the city’s evolution is the increase in tourism to downtown (of course) and a change in pedestrian safety.
In this picture you can see what has become quite normal: a car parks in a crosswalk by a hotel. Add to this drivers driving way too fast on local streets, and the plague of eScooters flying down sidewalks, and you get a recipe for disaster.
As city center’s re-urbanize city planners and politicians must remember one of the keys that make vibrant downtown neighborhoods great: walkability and bicycle-ability.
