[SDCBC] South Bay Dangerous Bike Path Change

[Bicyclist]

The SDCBC has made inquiries and complained... apparently at this 
point w/o getting a positive result!... removal of the barriers to travel.

I recommend that calls/communications be made to the San Diego City 
Park & Recreation Dept., the department that decided to install the 
barricades... and to the Mayor's Office.

An online/web form is available for contacting P&R at 
http://www.sandiego.gov/park-and-recreation/general-info/mypark.shtml .

For general Park & Recreation Department information (619) 525-8213.

I called and was told the P&R staff person to be handling this is 
John Barone at 619-525-8610. I left a message there.

Mayor contacts:
Phone: (619) 236-6330
Fax: (619) 236-7228
