[SDCBC] Plastic Cones in Bike Lane

[Darryl MacKenzie]

A restaurant (Dino's?) on the Pacific Coast Highway's 'Restaurant Row'
between Solana Beach and 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
