Subject: Please Lower the Speed Limit and Improve La Jolla Blvd & Tourmaline

Hi,

I signed the petition to lower the speed limit on La Jolla Boulevard and Tourmaline. This is a critical crossing.

Will you lower the speed and make crossing improvements there? Please consider the following:
- Four-way stop signs
- A refreshed traffic light
- Refreshed crosswalk painting
- A new crosswalk on the south side (in addition to a crosswalk on Mission Boulevard inland)

Thanks,
[Your Name]
[Your Neighborhood or Zip Code]

‘Slow down’: Mystery painter puts a message on the street in Bird Rock

  Sign the petition   here . Lower speed limits save lives and prevent injuries. " For some residents, however, the message echoes a call for drivers to slow down on Bird Rock streets. In summer 2022, Bird Rock resident Harry Bubbins, who is now president of the La Jolla Community Planning Association,  launched a petition drive   aiming to have the 35 mph speed limit lowered on La Jolla Boulevard as it winds into Bird Rock.

Reacting to the speed-limit-lowering effort, Joe Terry, current president of  Bird Rock Community Council , said: “The BRCC has not addressed this issue. My understanding of what folks think is t...

 3 00+ Signed the Petition! Letter Sent to Local Councilmember Dear Councilmember Joe LaCava,  Lower speed limits save lives and prevent injuries.  The speed limit on La Jolla Boulevard in City Council District #1 between Pacific Beach and Bird Rock is too high at 35mph. This includes the well-trafficked but dangerous crossing at the world-famous Tourmaline Surf Park destination.  35mph is a higher speed than all the other commercial/residential streets that connect with La Jolla Boulevard, so drivers are encouraged to dangerously SPEED UP. All connecting streets have a lower speed limit.  ● Mission Bay Boulevard = 30mph.  ● Turquoise Street = 25mph  ● Loring Street = 25mph & 20mph.  ● Colima Street roundabout = 15mph. (With no transition from 35mph.)  The above organizations and businesses in Council District #1 and active in San Diego support lowering the speed limit on La Jolla Boulevard.
