Bayshore Bikeway

SANDAG’s Bayshore Bikeway will provide a safe and scenic way for people who walk, ride, and roll to travel around San Diego Bay. It will eventually extend 24 miles around the bay, providing easy access to major bayfront employers and recreational destinations. We are completing the bikeway in segments and developing additional improvements based on the Bayshore Bikeway Plan adopted in 2006.

The Bayshore Bikeway Taskforce guides the development of the bikeway. It includes representatives from the five cities around San Diego Bay, the County of San Diego, the San Diego Unified Port District, and the bicycling community.

The Bayshore Bikeway project is part of the Regional Bike Plan Early Action Program approved by the SANDAG Board of Directors in September 2013, and it will connect to the larger bikeway network being built throughout the region as part of the Regional Bike Plan. TransNet is funding the project’s planning, design, and construction.

STATUS: In Progress: Construction

Construction began in April 2020 at E Street and Bay Boulevard as part of the Costa Vista RV Resort project. The work will have minimal and periodic impacts on the Bayshore Bikeway. The bikeway will remain open, but people using it can expect some detours and temporary delays. For safety, please pay attention and adhere to all signage.

STATUS: Complete

Project Overview

The National City segment of the Bayshore Bikeway features a 1-mile separated bike path along Harbor Drive from the National City boundary at the north end to Civic Center Drive and Tidelands Avenue at the south end. SANDAG also installed bike lanes on Tidelands Avenue and West 32nd Street to provide an interim route while the San Diego Port District plans the final bike path connection south of Civic Center Drive. This is part of National City's bayfront redevelopment plans.

Schedule

SANDAG completed this segment in early 2018.

STATUS: Complete

Project Overview

Running along Harbor Drive between 32nd Street and Vesta Streets in the City of San Diego, this 0.6-mile extension was the first phase of construction for a project that will eventually connect the existing bike path in National City with the Gordy Shields Bridge over the Sweetwater River.
