Tomorrow at 10:30 AM – Mission Bay Bridge Groundbreaking News Conference

Tomorrow at 10:30 AM at 2211 Pacific Beach Drive, District Two’s Kevin Faulconer will be joined by the city’s Bicycle Coordinator, Jim Lundquist to announce the groundbreaking of a long-awaited bridge that will complete the 10-mile Rose Creek Bike Path around Mission Bay. Kevin is expected to be joined by numerous walkers, joggers and bikers. Both Faulconer and Lundquist will be riding to the news conference by bicycle.

In the press release I received a copy of, Faulconer was quoted as saying, that the bike path and bridge “will provide a safer route over the creek by keeping pedestrians off Grand Avenue. I’m certain it will become a wonderful addition to San Diego’s beach communities.”

As is typical for San Diego projects when it comes to modes of transportation not involving the automobile, the $6.8 million project – paid for with state grants and local transportation dollars has been in the planning stages for more than a decade. Construction is expected to be complete in early 2012.
