[SDCBC] Oceanside San Luis Rey River Bike Path meeting

[Kathy Keehan]

September 18th is a busy day in the bike world! Aside from the Bayshore
Bikeway being at San Diego City Council, the City of Oceanside is having a
public meeting on the eastern extension of the San Luis Rey River bike path.


The meeting will be on Tuesday, September 18th at the Melba Bishop
Recreation Center, 5306 N. River Road in Oceanside at 7:00 p.m. 

The meeting will be to discuss the bike path project east of College -
particularly about fencing along the path behind some of the houses in the
neighborhood, and about neighborhood access to the bike path. One potential
alignment will be to route the riders through the neighborhood until the
more difficult parts of the bike path along the river can be constructed.
Some people  don't like the idea of bicyclists traipsing through their
neighborhood and are objecting to allowing the bike path to connect to the
street network. 

Bicyclists who live in Oceanside and who want the bike path extended should
make plans to attend the meeting if you can. Several volunteers in Oceanside
have distributed flyers in the neighborhood pointing out the benefits of
having the path and connections, and we got good response for the most part,
but there are still people opposed to the path. Hopefully enough people can
show up to convince the City of the importance of the path and the
neighborhood connections!
