Bike path marking needed along Glorietta Blvd between 5th and San Luis Rey

Comment by MIKE GAPP on July 26, 2011 at 9:47am

I ride my bike almost daily to carry and ship parcels at the USPS, and I've noted that bike traffic has increased since gas prices went up a touch.

 

I think the Bike Commitee is looking at a lot of options, and your suggestion seems like an especially good one to me, if it doesn't interfere with traffic, etc. Bike paths seem like a "sticky wicket", from the aspect of planning, to me at least.

 

Dunno.

 

Maybe the next related thought has been visited already; I'd also like to see more bike racks around town, I reckon. With more employees riding to work, the few existing bike racks are filling up early and often, compared to before.

 

Bikes keep Coronado special, and always will IMHO.

 

Thanks for this article, Miss Lorraine

I walk this route several times a week.  I often see tourists get to the end of the bike path by the bridge who are suddenly being dumped out onto Glorietta Blvd - going against traffic - and no sign of where to go from there.  Many of them just turn around and head back under the bridge.  Glorietta is an idea street to put in bike paths, maybe outside of striped parking on both sides of the road.

What can we do to make this happen?

I was the Vice Chair of the Ad-Hoc Bicycle Committee. We have a recently approved Master Bike Plan that you can see on the City's Website. Go to http://www.coronado.ca.us/egov/docs/1299191686_36132.pdf. Many new and exciting changes coming soon to make bicycling safer and more enjoyable.

We were back in Coronado the first two weeks in January 2012 and rode our bikes down to the Ferry Landing a couple of times. There still are no white lines along Glorietta Boulevard, more than six months since I posted on this. What is the problem here? Why can't a white line be added on the golf course side that would link the two bike paths? Glorietta is very wide along this strip and it would be easy to add a white line that would provide some safety to bicycles.
