[SDCBC] Yogi's Bar & Grill, Cardiff Restaurant Row; bollards

[John Eldon]

The War of the White Bollards in the bike lane in front of Yogi's on Coast Highway 101's Restaurant Row is unfortunately evidently far from over. As I rode past just after 7:30 this morning I noticed the four bollards and their connecting rope once again in the bike lane, about 2 feet east/right of the bike lane's left-side demarcation stripe. Totally fed up, I stopped and threw all four of them against the curb, which felt marvelously therapeutic. (I made sure all four were upright and completely out of the bike lane before continuing north.) 

Being unsure of the proper jurrisdiction, I am filing formal complaints with the Encinitas City Council, the Chamber of Commerce, the Sheriff, the CHP, and the restaurant itself. It takes less than 30 seconds to move the bollards out of the bike lane -- if enough bicyclists consistently do this, maybe Yogi's will eventually get the message. In the meantime, I urge all north coast members of SDCBC to boycott Yogi's and to encourage their friends to do likewise, until the issue is satisfactorily resolved.
