Hi Bob,
I got your email address from the SDCBC as a point of contact for
Biking Related issues & CalTrans.
I typically commute from Sorrento Valley up to Genesee via I5 South in AM
& I5 North in PM (usually after dark). I typically notice lots of
Road/Traffic/Trash
debris in the hazard/bike lane - which sometimes requires me to maneuver
outside
of the hazard/bike lane and into the main traffic lanes.
The Genesee->I5 North->Sorrento Valley Road commute can be particularly
trouble-some
in the evening/darkness b/c this section is down-hill not well lighted
(dark) - which doesn't allow
a whole lot of reaction time - particularly if speeding traffic is
wheezing by you.
Since this particular section of highway/hazard/bike lane is shared w/
cyclist - any
chance that we can get this section of road on a higher priority cleanup
area for debris.
Just this week, I had to avoid - bed box spring, truck tire treads,
hard-hat, wood framing
debris as well as the normal rocks, broken glass, sand, dust, etc that
the highway normally
pushes over into this lane.
Anything you might be able to regarding this matter would be much
appreciated.
-MD
