Lake Hodges bicycle and pedestrian Bicyclists
bridge receives funding

SANDAG Directors approved an additional $1.875 million in FY 2009 TransNet Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Neighborhood Safety funds for the Lake Hodges bicycle and pedestrian bridge. The project is part of the regional bicycle corridor network identified in the MOBILITY 2030 Regional Transportation Plan, and it is a key link in the River Park’s trail network.

Currently, bicyclists have access across the lake by means of the I-15 freeway shoulders. The nearest alternative access across the river valley is at Via de Santa Fe to the west, or at Bandy Canyon Road and San Pasqual Valley Road to the east. The San Dieguito River Park has a total of $7 million for this project, including $2.5 million in funds previously programmed by SANDAG. Approval of this additional funding allows the River Park to avoid losing a grant of State River Parkway funds and continue with the construction currently underway.
