A “Bikeway Village” for Imperial Beach?

More interesting bike news from the mainstream press! The Union-Tribune reports on a proposed “Bikeway Village” along the Bayshore Bikeway. Sounds like a good idea to us!

The owner of two Imperial Beach warehouses hopes to convert his bayfront property into a rest stop and haven for bicyclists along the 24-mile Bayshore Bikeway.

Rex Butler, who has owned the two 15,000-square-foot warehouses for nearly a year, hopes his “Bikeway Village” concept will capitalize on the halfway point of the nearby bike trail and views of San Diego Bay with proposed amenities such as a cafe, bike shop, day spa, ice cream shop, bookstore or perhaps a youth hostel.
