Tactical Urbanism Action Day

 Tactical Urbanism Action Day
 When: Sunday, August 17th 10 AM – 2 PM
 Where: Start at GEM Coffee 4412 Euclid Avenue SD 92115, City Heights, Kensington, Talmadge
 Who: Anyone who wants to take part 
 How:

• Participants will be put in groups of 2-5 and assigned a location in the three neighborhoods
• Each group will receive flyers and large red chalk to “daylight” 1–3 intersections.
• Materials will be picked up from a central coordination point (GEM Coffee).
• Groups document their work and send photos to strongtownssandiego@gmail.com.
• That’s it—quick, impactful, and 100% community-led.
• Participants are invited to come back to GEM Coffee after to discuss and celebrate taking meaningful direct action.

This is a low-key, high-impact action, not posted on social media in advance. The goal is not to claim credit, but to make streets safer through visibility and community engagement. We’ll share photos afterward to celebrate the work.

RSVP and More Info:
Anyone interested can sign up here: RSVP
Please only RSVP if you’re committed to attending—our coordination depends on reliable participation.

Supplies Needed:

• STSD has reserves of all supplies already though extra is appreciated
• If possible, bring large red chalk, print 5 – 10 copies of the flyer attached, or a $5 donation to cover costs
• Print 5–10 copies of the flyer attached below if you have printer access

We hope your community will join us to help make San Diego’s streets safer, one intersection at a time. Please feel free to forward this to your list, and reach out with any questions.

We’ll follow up with corridor/intersection assignments once we have enough volunteers signed up.
