Sabre Springs Bikeways

BACKGROUND


The Sabre Spring Community Plan encourages the development of a system of bikeways within the community tying into the Regional Bicycle Network. The project ties into the existing Class 1 Bike Lane that leads to Mira Mesa and provides for the construction of a Class I Bike Path (combined pedestrian and bicycle travel) easterly along the south side of Poway Road from the Interstate 15/Poway Road interchange to Sabre Springs Parkway, approximately 1,950 feet in length which replaces the existing Class II Bikeway located within the shoulder of Poway Road.

GOAL

To provide safe travel for pedestrians and bicyclists by constructing Class 1 Bike Path.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The project provides for a 10-foot wide Bike Path on the southern side of Poway Road between I-15 and Sabre Springs Parkway by widening the existing 5-foot wide sidewalk to the south. The project includes the installation of retaining walls with the fence on the top and revegetation of disturbed areas in accordance with the City. The project requires a Site Development Permit because it lies partially within a Multi-Habitat Planning Area (MHPA).
