[SDCBC] Well it looks like I am not the only one...

[Thomas Reynolds]

Out in my neighborhood, Spring Valley, a 1.2 mile section of bike lane
on busy Jamacha Blvd has been taken away by K-rails placed over it,
forcing cyclists out into traffic.  A developer has promised to
rebuild the road.

It has sat there for FOUR YEARS.  I've tried almost everything to get
action but no one who can take action cares.

So please keep that in perspective when complaining about water on
your bike path or, in this case, having to pick up a bike and carry it
50 feet to get to northbound El Camino Real.

Sorry, I needed to vent some frustration.
