[SDCBC] Bogota vs. San Diego

[Jim Baross, Jr.]

The major impediment was the reticence of the advisory board for 
Marion Bear Preserve to allow for a paved Bike Path through their 
canyon preserve. Change their minds and those of the adjacent 
advisory bodies would likely go along.

You do know that there are several Bike Paths along freeways and 
arterials already in the region, right?
