City Planning Invites You to Share Feedback on Draft Bike Network

The City Planning Department wants to hear from you as we develop a comprehensive bike network that works for bicyclists and neighborhoods across the city.

The Citywide Draft Bicycle Network Survey is now available. We invite you to review the proposed bikeways and share your feedback.

The Bicycle Master Plan Update will identify a network of bikeways and provide a framework to make the city an easy and safe place to bike. The Plan focuses on supporting healthy and safe travel to work, school, and other activities. It will also outline how the City will work with communities to determine if, when and how the identified bike projects are built.

The draft network includes bikeways identified to provide a safe and easy way to get around San Diego by bike for all ages and abilities, and your feedback will help refine the proposed network to ensure it meets community needs.

This map-based survey is open through April 30, 2026.

To learn more about the Bicycle Master Plan Update, please visit www.sandiego.gov/bikeplan.

Funding for this effort is provided by Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant program.

The District 2 Council office is collecting feedback on residents’ priorities for the upcoming Fiscal Year 2027 Budget through our CD2 Budget Development survey. This brief and specifically District 2 survey allows residents to share their feedback on which priorities are most or least important to them and the responses will be shared with the Councilmember and their staff as they enter into discussions for the upcoming budget development cycle. The survey will remain open through the end of April, and the results will be shared with Councilmember Campbell before the Budget Review Committee hearings in the first week of May.

The survey can be taken without sharing your contact information, but if you would like to receive District 2 updates, including updates about this year’s budget development process, you can provide your name and contact information at the bottom of the survey to subscribe to our office’s bi-weekly newsletter. This is optional and will not impact your ability to respond to the survey, and you can unsubscribe at any time.

City of San Diego Releases Comprehensive Speed Management Plan:

This week, the City of San Diego announced the release of its Comprehensive Speed Management Plan, a citywide, data-informed strategy to reduce vehicle speeds in areas allowed under state law and advance the City’s Vision Zero commitment to eliminate traffic fatalities and serious injuries.

The Comprehensive Speed Management Plan used a data-driven, city-wide approach to lower speed limits across San Diego’s neighborhoods, commercial corridors, and school zones.

In 2022, the U.S. Department of Transportation awarded the City of San Diego $680,000 through the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant program, funded through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The SS4A grant, which was supported by San Diego’s congressional delegation, funded several supplemental planning efforts, including the development of this Comprehensive Speed Management Plan.

The analysis found that over 20 percent of San Diego’s roadway network, 679.1 centerline miles, is eligible for potential speed limit reductions, including: 189.6 centerline miles eligible as Safety Corridors . 32.6 centerline miles eligible as High Pedestrian & Bicyclist Activity Corridors (All 189.6 miles of Safety Corridors also qualify under this category) . 58.7 centerline miles eligible as Business Activity Districts. 371.1 centerline miles eligible for School Zone speeds (15 or 20 mph). 27.1 centerline miles eligible for School Approach speeds (25 mph).

Implementation of the plan is estimated to begin in Fiscal Year 2027, subject to available funding and approval through the City’s annual budget process.
