There is a beautiful bike path adjacent to I-15 from Kensington down the hill to Camino del Rio South. And there is a beautiful bike path from the SDSU\/San Diego River Park to Murphy Canyon Road. However, there is no connection across I-8 and the river, which makes it impossible to continue on this route.<\/p>\n<p>A decade ago, as the city of San Diego bike coordinator, I found a solution to this problem. By suspending a bike lane off the east side of the southbound I-15 to Camino del Rio South off-ramp bridge, a connection could be provided. This is a very important gap in the bike lane connection, and should be closed with this cost-effective addition.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Jim Lundquist, San Diego<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Re \u201cBike infrastructure shouldn\u2019t add to local traffic congestion\u201d (Sept. 13): Steve Kolokowsky is exactly correct in his&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":470984,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[1564,975,74,76,75],"class_list":["post-470983","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-diego","tag-letters-to-the-editor","tag-opinion","tag-san-diego","tag-san-diego-headlines","tag-san-diego-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/470983","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=470983"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/470983\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/470984"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=470983"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=470983"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=470983"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
