The city of San Diego is inviting the community to give feedback on bike infrastructure online through Sept. 10. They say they’ll use them to shape the new Bicycle Master Plan, which helps them prioritize future infrastructure projects as they seek funding.
There’s an interactive map where users can note what works well and what could be improved. The map has nearly 500 contributions so far.
To submit feedback, visit the city of San Diego interactive map.
There’s also a trip map, where the city is asking cyclists to indicate where they usually ride.
And there’s a survey asking cyclists to rank the types of infrastructure and policies they’d like to see most.
The city is looking for the occasional cyclist and for any parent who wants to have their kid bike to school.
The two maps and the survey are open until Sept. 10.
Funding for the study comes from the Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant program. The Bicycle Master Plan was last updated in 2013.
There is a survey to provide feedback about bike lanes.

One issue with the survey is question nine.
9. On average, how many times a week do you ride your bike? Required
1-2
3-4
5-10
10+
There is no opportunity to answer zero times a week or less than one. This will skew how often people really ride their bike.
I only ride it once a week but it’s 24/7. I ride it day and night and while I sleep. I’m just your average san diegan.
“I don’t bike” was one of the choices. If you would have clicked on that you would have been prompted to go into more details in your own words.
More clearly, regarding the first question – “based on the image below, what type of rider are you?”, the fourth choice/option/graphic was titled “No Way No How” and read:
“I don’t bike at all due to inability, fear for my safety, or simply a complete and utter lack of interest”
It’s a garbage survey, like the pier, like the trash, to steer you into the city’s direction. No real input to true perspective.
But in a good way.
Hardly. I saw 4 bicyclists in one day. One riding the wrong direction. It would probably be annoying if there were more riders.
