What about an all-way stop for bicyclists and pedestrians at this intersection?<br>

The Rose Canyon/La Jolla Colony path you are speaking of, how far would it run
north along the rail?<br>

It seems like we talk about the LJ Colony Drive/Rose Canyon bike path
discontinuity on this list every 6 months or so. As far as I know there
is no plan.<br>
<br>
I'm sure it's on Kathy's wish list. But even if the city (or whoever)
said they have, say, $500k to fix it, I'm not sure what could be done.
One ideas is a "fly over", but that would cost millions, I'm sure.<br>
<br>
Extending the path north east parallel to LJCD between the sidewalk and the RR
track, and having a sane entrance at one of the intersections on LJCD might
work. Maybe. Basically, this would formalize the current "use
the sidewalk" method, but avoid having to use the actual sidewalk, except
to cross it once.<br>
<br>
Or here's a new idea. Reconfigure the intersection to allow U turns right
there (and no right on red for n/b I-5 traffic headed for LJCD). Then
cyclists could get into the left lane as if to make a legal U turn, and then
proceed on the green arrow but abort the U turn mid stream to get onto the
path. Not totally elegant but probably better that what we have now and
perhaps affordable.<br>

I guess one could ride up to the Park and Ride and turn around there or maybe
on up a mile or so to the next traffic light. Overall, it seems like
there is a real problem there, I don't see an easy fix but a fix is definitely
needed.<br>
<br>
What do the folks in the know say about about plans for this region???<br>
