Coronado plans for a more crowded future

Coronado is already a bike friendly city! Bicyclists and pedestrians aren't getting injured or killed at some significant rate higher than anywhere else. The beach doesn't need to be altered to improve things. The City said they wouldn't use the path in front of the Hotel Del for anything other than bike or pedestrian traffic. They routinely allow commercial vehicles on it to load/unload. The same thing will occur with a bike path on the beach. The bike path idea is a 'trojan horse' waiting to allow commercial vehicles to load/unload for parties, weddings, events on the beach. The City knows this but aren't saying anything. They created bike committee to work on this path to hell, to also make money from it by allowing more and larger events on the beach. The beach is already being ruined by beach goers littering the beach with fires directly in the sand, by dumping hot charcoals in the sand. The City has in municipal code this is illegal but they do absolutely nothing to enforce it, or anything at the beach for that matter. Building a path on the beach will only increase ease of getting BBQs and fire receptacles out on the beach, all over the beach, and as things are now the City cleanup crews and complete lack of law enforcement won't be able to meet those demands. And no, this City of Coronado will still have their head in the sand by not increasing staffing needs to meet the demands. There is two years worth of documented evidence proving beyond a reasonable doubt that the sand is being ruined permanently, found at http://coronadocleanbeach.com and https://vimeo.com/user20445263. Sand is absolutely not compatible with charcoal or fires. Forests are though, they actually benefit from char. Sand does not benefit from char in any way, shape, manner or form, it just makes it ugly and look dirty, which is what is happening on Coronado's Beach. The same thing is happening to other beaches. The hordes of people coming out the beaches today are atrocious in their behavior towards keeping it clean. These are many of the same people that will be coming out to use the bike path that creates greater access to all areas of the beach—BBQs will be wheeled out, wagons will be pulling the same along with party fixings. They trash the hell out of it, and fires and BBQs do not mix well. Building this path on the beach will only increase traffic to the beach when the City can't even reasonably care for it to preserve its natural state in the first place. This beach trash issue is happening on many coastal beaches. I know this may sound like a sidebar to the main issues of the bike path but overcrowding and irresponsible use must be addressed. The beach needs to be preserved in its natural state. No bike path on the beach, no more fires or BBQs, keep it natural, keep it clean. People will enjoy it just the same without either. http://www.sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2015/a…
