San Diego County Bicycle Coalition supports City’s
long-term bicycling vision
WHAT:
San Diego is looking into its bicycling
crystal ball – what will the future hold for our growing two-wheeled community?
On Monday, City Council will vote to approve or deny the Bicycle Master Plan
Update, a citywide policy document to guide the development and maintenance of
San Diego’s bicycle network over the next 20 years.
With
support from the San Diego County Bicycle Coalition, the new plan includes an
assessment of the existing infrastructure in San Diego and recommends increased
bicycle parking, improved bicycle signage, bicycle safety courses and
approximately 878 miles of proposed bike lanes and bike routes throughout San
Diego County.
WHY:
Approval of this plan
ensures San Diego will see twenty years of bicycle advancements and that
bicycle commuting is a trend that is not going away but growing. The projected
improvements to the current bicycle infrastructure will ensure that cyclists
have better access to local businesses, transit centers, shopping districts,
parks, and other local amenities to make San Diego a bicycle-friendly
destination for locals and tourists alike.

Let's get this long languishing bike plan adopted so we can move on to more improvements, qualify for State and Federal Grants, get closer to being chosen as a Bicycle Friendly City. Yes, there is lots more to be done so let's get this one in place and move on - by bicycle. ;-)
