[SDCBC] FW: Plastic Cones in Bike Lane

[Darryl MacKenzie]

Hi Bill:

 

Not sure why, but your email was directed to my SPAM folder. My apologizes. 

 

These pictures are GREAT! It gives a very vivid image of where the cones
are/were. The first picture is very dramatic!  I have passed them along to
the coalition and John Eldon who has been working on this effort.

 

Thanks, Bill.

Darryl,

 

I rode past them today (they are still there) and stopped in to ask to talk
to the manager. The rude bar tender would not give me the time of day much
less the name of whom to ask for should I wish to call back.

 

I got home and called the sheriff and we'll see if they can get them to
remove it. Otherwise I'll call the CHP and file a complaint. I don't think
they are legal given that it is clearly a Class II Bikeway ("Bike Lane").

 

Photos attached.

 

Bill.

A restaurant (Dinos?) on thePacific Coast Highways Restaurant Row
betweenSolanaBeachand Encinitas has placed 4 white cones in the bike lane.
The restaurant is on the east side of the street, the farthest north
building, in the area across the street from the Chart House and several
other restaurants. This restaurant has placed 4 white plastic cones in the
bike lane about 1 foot to the right of the white line dividing the motor
vehicle lane and the bike lane. These cones are 3-4 feet high, about 4
inches across, have their own base so are not permanently fixed onto the
street and are tied together with rope that is 8-12 feet long.

These cones should not be in the bike lane.

They were observed when northbound about 10AM and again when southbound
several hours later.

If a cyclist hits one of these cones, quite possibly a fall will result
especially since these 4 cones are tied together.

Hopefully a recipient of this SDCBC list can forward this email to someone
who can have the restaurant remove this dangerous obstruction from the bike
lane.

Thanks

Darryl MacKenzie
