Overgrown Brush Along Solana Beach Road Poses Danger to San Diego Bicycle Riders
Hullabaloo surrounded the 2005 addition of bicycle lanes along Via de la Valle in Solana Beach in North San Diego County, yet today the bike lanes are almost non-existent because of the lack of follow-up care by the City of San Diego.
"Share the Road" signs do not mean much when about half of the 4-foot wide westbound bicycle lanes along Via de la Valle are encroached upon by growing bushes.
Both San Diego bicyclists and car drivers know that this growing vegetation of weeds poses a danger since it obviously makes it more difficult for fast moving cars to share the road with bicyclists.
The bike lanes were opened in 2005 between El Camino Real and San Andres Drive costing the City of San Diego $1.5 million. However, this money is wasted tax payer money if the City does not make sure to keep it clean. According to Hasan Yousef, deputy director of the San Diego Street Division, the bicycle lanes will be cleared up in a couple of weeks.
