The Pacific Beach Town Council voted 6-4 in favor of keeping the city's"Slow Street" program around on Dimond Street, but they're recommending the city make some key improvements to the project.
Kohta Zaiser, a spokesperson for Mayor Todd Gloria, said the Slow Street pilot program originally involved three streets, but it was former mayor Kevin Falconer’s administration that assigned Diamond Street only. The initiative closed Diamond Street off to thru traffic between Haines Street and Mission Boulevard in an attempt to give pedestrian and non-vehicle traffic a safer route to the beach.
PB Planning Group Chairman Karl Rand said Faulconer didn't pursue public input and claimed road closures signs went up in April 2020 within three days of the decision.
