from San Diego's Office of the City Auditor found funding for pedestrian safety projects like crosswalks and street lighting fell far short of the need, and that the city could improve coordination across departments to improve traffic safety., which found the city was failing to use data to prioritize safety upgrades at the most dangerous intersections.
The more recent audit finds the city is doing a much better job using data to guide its pedestrian infrastructure planning. However the city is unable to keep up with the growing list of unfunded needs for pedestrian safety.
"There is one person in the Transportation Department that tries to take that on, but that's one of numerous responsibilities that they have," Hanau said."Adding that position would really help coordinate a major effort across a lot of different city departments." In his response to the audit report, San Diego's Chief Operating Officer Erik Dargan said he agreed the city could use a dedicated Vision Zero coordinator, but that creating the new position was"contingent upon the availability of additional resources."I cover local government — a broad beat that includes housing, homelessness and infrastructure. I'm especially interested in the intersections of land use, transportation and climate change.
