San Diego is planning to add protected bike lanes to a one-mile section of Park Boulevard in University Heights, continuing a push from Mayor Todd Gloria to improve the safety and comfort of biking amid record high gas prices and a spike in traffic deaths.
Ariana Criste lives a short bike ride away on Meade Avenue, where officials last Saturdayon a new 3.5-mile bike lane project that runs from Park Boulevard to Fairmount Avenue in Kensington. When Criste bikes to Hillcrest or Balboa Park, she tends to avoid riding on Park Boulevard, even if it means taking a longer detour on side streets.
"Park is a segment of our neighborhood that feels a little bit dangerous to ride on," said Criste, who works as communications manager for the nonprofit Climate Action Campaign and serves as a board member of BikeSD."It always feels like you might get doored, or you have to dodge cars that are coming in and out of getting takeout and visiting shops. I think this is really going to go a long way towards improving the safety of biking in the neighborhood.
It is unclear whether the addition of bike lanes on Park Boulevard will cause a net loss of street parking, and if so, by how many spaces. But Criste said in light of 2021's alarming spike in traffic deaths, she hopes residents and businesses will keep the neighborhood's parking challenges in perspective.
"At the end of the day, this is all about safety for us," Criste said."We just want to protect our neighbors."
