[SDCBC] Frye encourages bicycling...

I missed this... did you? What-da-ya think?
Maybe a little money might go to increased traffic enforcement too?

Let's Encourage Bicycle Commuting



By Brian T. Peterson, San Diego

Tuesday, Feb. 13, 2007 | To Councilmember Frye: If the city, or you 
as a civic leader, would like to do any one thing to 
<http://www.voiceofsandiego.org/articles/2007/02/13/cafesandiego/520donna1021307.txt>address 
climate change, encourage bicycle commuting. As it is now, the city 
does everything it can to discourage the use of the bike as a mode of 
transportation.

True, there are many bike lanes, but there are very few dedicated 
bicycle paths. The bike lanes are full of hazards, such as road 
debris, shards of broken glass, service access to underground 
utilities, and curbside drains. More frequent street sweeping would 
be a great help. And, in the future, not placing manholes in the 
middle of bike lanes would be a plus. The safest and best approach 
would be to build dedicated bike paths, which would not have any of 
the aforementioned hazards.
