Annual PB Counts provides data on non-motorized mobility By DAVE SCHWAB

S

triving to create a more sustainable, equitable, and safe Pacific Beach, beautifulPB recently conducted its seventh annual PB Counts tally of non-motorized vehicles. In 2015, beautifulPB (beautifulpb.com), a grassroots nonprofit, initiated PB Counts, an annual neighborhood traffic count done by

volunteers in the western central area of Pacific Beach. The count is done on a typical August Saturday for two hours from 3-5 p.m. Counters record traffic distinguishing between vehicles types: people on bikes, walking, e-scooters, and other types of traffic (non-motorized scooters, etc.) The results for this year’s PB Counts conducted on Aug. 7 are still being tabulated and will not be

released for a couple more weeks. But beautifulPB president Katie Matchett noted the program provides critical information about how people travel in the beach community, allowing beautifulPB to more effectively advocate for key improvements to roadways and transportation infrastructure. She added PB Counts is also the only community-led traffic count conducted regularly in San Diego

County. “For non-motorized travel, we look at all the different categories broken down into electric scooters, bicycles, skateboards, and people who walk,” she said of the annual traffic count, which was started just before PB Pathways surfboard decals and wayfinding signage was installed throughout the community. “At that time, the idea was to

see if these new infrastructure improvements (signage) make a difference, as well as to get a sense for how people are traveling, especially along PB Pathways,” she said. PB Pathways routes were implemented in phases beginning in 2015. Phase I routes had an installation of pavement wayfinding markers and destination signage. Curb See COUNTS Page 8
