[SDCBC] Friars Road Bike Lane Street Sweep

[Kevin Reindl]

Greetings all,

I regularly communte to work using the Friar's road bike lane between Sea
World Drive and Mission Valley. This bike lane is littered with debris that
makes it difficult to ride in. I have gotten a couple of flat tires from
shards of glass/debris in the last few months. As such, I have recently been
using the car lane (much to the dislike of cars speeding past me at 55 MPH).
I would probably go back to the bike lane on a regular basis if it were
cleaner and smoother. In fact, most bikers I see on Friars don't even take
the east-bound bike lane (probably because of the concrete barrier and the
debris).

OK, to get to the point...do any of you bike commuters have contact with
anyone from the city streets department responsible for street sweeping or
bike lane repaving? At a minimum, it would be nice to have the bike lane
swept clean of debris...ideally, it might be nice to have it repaved to
smooth it out and prevent weeds from overgrowing the lane.

Thanks to everyone from SDCBC for all of your efforts and continued support
of bicycling.
