At the last hearing, Kathy Keehan, Executive Director for the bicycle coalition, had spoken noting that new or widened roads needed to accommodate bicycle traffic.

The city of San Diego has a $179 million budget shortfall. To ease the gap, the city’s police horses are on their way out. They were be replaced by bicycles and foot patrol.

Further north, the LAPD used its time to tackle the problem that is critical mass.
