[SDCBC] Plastic Cones in Bike Lane

[John Eldon]

Thanks for posting, Darryl.

Cardiff Restaurant Row is within the City of Encinitas, http://ci.encinitas.ca.us ; this MAY fall under "code enforcement" http://ci.encinitas.ca.us/Resident/HealthAS/CodeESEP/ .

Another option is to forward the complaint to the Union Tribune's "just fix it" reporter: www.justfixit.uniontrib.com .

When I have encountered similar obstacles in the past, I have often been angered enough to stop and move or remove the offending object(s), which have included sawhorses bearing yard sale signs. When I am out jogging or walking, I am pretty good about removing hazardous debris from road shoulders and bike lanes.

If you like, I shall be pleased to forward your complaint and to raise hell at Encinitas City Hall (they know me very well :) ), but I first want to determine which restaurant is guilty. Las Olas is at the south end of the cluster and is owned by a bicycling enthusiast. I believe Ki's is the northernmost of the three restaurants, but there is an office/professional building with a small lot marked "we tow" just north of it.

All the best,

John E.

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
