San Diego is preparing to add bike lanes to Convoy Street, the heart of Kearny Mesa's Asian Cultural District. acbowen has more on how businesses and residents are taking the news.
He added that the high traffic volumes on Convoy and the frequency of driveways and uncontrolled intersections will create a precarious situation for cyclists.
"Convoy, I think, presents a real dangerous area to be on a bike, even in a bike lane, given the number of cars and the number of places those cars are going to be turning," Nickel said."So no, I will not be encouraging people to use the bike lanes in any way, shape or form." The bike lanes will be added sometime in the next six months as part of a repaving project on Convoy.
Steven Palmer lives less than two miles to the east of Convoy and bikes around the neighborhood several times each week. He said the bike lanes will be a huge improvement over the status quo and that he hopes businesses will come to see them as an opportunity."I haven't seen very many bike racks, if any, in Convoy, and so I usually only would go there for takeout," Palmer said.
Palmer, however, does agree with Nickel that biking in Kearny Mesa can be perilous. To get to Convoy on his bike, Palmer must ride over the state Route 163 freeway via Balboa Avenue or Clairemont Mesa Boulevard — two high-traffic streets with no cycling infrastructure at all. He said until Convoy connects to a larger network of bike lanes that reach into the surrounding residential areas, biking there will remain unsafe.
