The estimated cost of the improvements was $111,000.
In order to save money, the improvement to increase pedestrian safety next to a major university was ignored.
The damn city should be sued for ignoring it's duty, and responsibility to safety, after it conducted an investigation of how to prevent pedestrian deaths, and was informed that a crosswalk overpass walking bridge would get students off the road
Hell, the university is also liable IMHO for not insisting that the city build the walking bridge
And HOW does a cop in a cop car STRIKE and kill a person? Probably using a cell phone or the unit laptop... which the state decided wasn't "unsafe" for cops, just illegally unsafe for all the rest of us.
So, yeah, the city of San Diego, the SDPD, and USD, I'd say they all ought to line up across the court room from the plaintiff, and try to weasel out of the jury's focus.

In fiscal year 2026 alone, SDPD settlements and judgements reached a record $42 million.
“An SDPD officer was alleged to have visited the home, and contributed to the abuse by directly supplying wooden paddles, not paddle, paddles to the family,”
$30 million went to the family of Konoa Wilson, the 16-year-old shot and killed by a San Diego police officer last year while running from gunfire.
A cop shot Konoa in the back.
SDPD Annual Budget is 32% of San Diego's total General Fund expenditures.
The San Diego Police Department (SDPD) operates on an annual General Fund budget of $703.5 million,
police-related settlements and judgments have average about $42.5 million annually
ACLU data indicates that SDPD payouts are roughly 15 million higher than the settlements paid by all other city departments combined.
