Jeremy Blakespear too soft for San Diego's Bicycle Coalition
Class IV (Class 4) only works if a) there are no parked cars to the left. and b) there is a pedestrian walkway to the right of the bike lane. An example of this the EXISTING Hwy 101 south bound between Encinitas and Solana Beach. Otherwise Class IV is dangerous: cars loading and unloading in the bike lane, as well as shared bike lane with walkers, runners, dog walkers, etc. Class IIb (2b): safest cycling route. We cyclists are LEGAL vehicles on the road - my 5 decades of cycling ALL over this country, and overseas, has taught me that a good stripe, with space to the right side, is the best cycling ever. The other classes, especially sharrows and routes that "share" with cars DO NOT WORK. There is no sharing with motor vehicles... They will not share, and specifically, it forces cyclists to trust in the knowledge, abilities, and personalities of motorists: terrible. Now I know some of you are scared to ride parallel to cars, with just a white stripe or stripe and separator stripes... that's OK. You should have your multi-use separated, cement barrier lanes. But do not force the thousands of us that uses 101 daily to move OFF the road and into these death traps. You need to learn some safety skills, just as much as drivers need to learn, and be tested, to have driving skills.— November 5, 2019 8:14 p.m.
