Encinitas father continues to fight for safer roads after daughter's death
Дата публикации: 10-08-2026 21:55:42
The father of Emery Chalekian, a 12-year-old girl who was killed while crossing Encinitas Boulevard, returned to the Encinitas Mobility and Traffic Safety Commission on Monday to make an emotional plea for changes aimed at slowing traffic.
John Chalekian was surrounded by supporters at the meeting, including several members of Safe Streets Encinitas, a group formed after his daughter’s death.
More than a dozen people spoke during public comment, with most calling on the commission to make additional physical changes to Encinitas roads to slow traffic.
Safe Streets Encinitas and the Chalekian family are continuing their efforts to get the commission to commit to a Vision Zero strategy. Over the past 10 years, Encinitas has had a pedestrian killed on its streets every eight and a half months.
One speaker questioned whether eliminating traffic deaths is a realistic goal.
“To achieve zero is a good goal to have it is impossible and irresponsible.“
Chalekian said he plans to continue pushing for changes.
“Time and pressure break all big rocks and that’s the bottom line. Unfortunately we are in a position where we don’t have a sense of urgency. “
Safe Streets Encinitas says the city is considering changing the name of the corner where Emery was killed to help promote safety awareness.
