More than 75% of the parking spots along this stretch of Park Boulevard have been eliminated for a bus/bikeway redesign. It's part of a bigger goal to have 50% of trips in San Diego be carless by 2035.
"The area will benefit from quicker access to buses and shuttles utilizing the dedicated transit lane and safer access for cyclists and micro-mobility device riders using the separated bikeway," Santacroce said."We continue to seek out ways to maintain acceptable traffic flows in the dedicated auto lane including adjusted traffic signal timing."
"For decades, cyclists have been forced to risk their lives on a freeway-like road to reach the vital cultural resources of Balboa Park, while transit riders have been forced to wait in standstill traffic on their daily commutes. By providing separated bike and bus lanes, this project will empower all of the people who can conveniently ride their bikes or take transit through Balboa Park to do so, leaving more road and parking spaces for people who need to drive to the Park.
The Balboa Park Planning Committee is working on a plan to bring an additional 100 parking spaces to the west side of the park by transforming the inlet street of Balboa Drive -- which is a one-way, two-lane road that runs parallel to 6th Avenue -- into what could be a one-way road with back-in diagonal parking and a bike lane. Santacroce said the city is still evaluating if Balboa Drive can accommodate more parking than that.
