Our Mission

Civita and Serra Mesa Communities Trying to Save Lives.


We are a non-profit organization dedicated to preventing pedestrian fatalities.

San Diego City Council approved a 4-lane, 55-mph freeway connector allowing 34,000 cars a day through Serra Mesa and half-mile stretches of Via Alta and Franklin Ridge roads in Civita, a dense residential community.

These roads are permanently flawed because the steep slope and the curves of the roads prevent crosswalks or traffic calming from ever being installed.

If the speedway connector is completed, lives will be at risk. Because of the permanent flaws, these roadway segments are “unsafe at any speed”.
