As an avid local road cyclist who lives off Ortega Highway in the Mission area, I strongly support any safe solution that
keeps me and my cycling friends from having to play bumper tag with the CCR trash trucks on the narrow two lane
stretch of Ortega Highway. I take my life into my hands every time I venture to some of the great cycling east of our city
on this dangerous stretch. Given that the widening project of Ortega Highway is now dead, any alternative route would
be a blessing.
Note that cyclists have co -existed with horse traffic along San Juan Creek Road for over twenty years without
incident. Furthermore, my wife is a local Las Vaqueras member and trail horse rider and even she supports this.
Feel free to contact me with any questions or additional feedback.
