Continental sidewalks, similar to those adjacent to University City High School, are coming soon to some of the school intersections and crosswalks along Governor Drive.
Barbara Gellman, UCCA’s Neighborhood Watch coordinator, and Merle Langston, UCCA’s Beautification coordinator, recently took pictures of south University City school crosswalks and used the City’s new ‘Get it Done’ application to request crosswalk repainting.
Continental crosswalk markings are up to 24 inches wide and installed parallel to vehicular travel. They are the new standard in San Diego because research has shown that they are more visible to motorists and pedestrians.
According to the City, continental style enhances public safety by providing clear demarcation and reduces vehicle trespassing into the crosswalk.
The City’s Transportation Department says the new crosswalks at Governor and Genesee will be installed over the summer; hopefully before school starts in August.
