SANDAG Chair and Encinitas Mayor Catherine Blakespear joined Vista Mayor Judy Ritter, SANDAG Executive Director Hasan Ikhrata and San Diego County Bicycle Coalition Executive Director Andy Hanshaw during the virtual ribbon-cutting ceremony on SANDAG s Facebook page. Adding miles to bikeways is so important as people bike and walk more than ever during the pandemic, Blakespear said. We can make great strides as a community to reduce our impact on the environment and play a part in our region s effort to meet our greenhouse gas emission reduction goals by offering residents healthy, safe, and viable transportation choices.
The latest completed phase includes a 2.5-mile section between Cherimoya Drive in the unincorporated county and Mar Vista Drive in Vista, and a half-mile section between North Drive and North Melrose Drive in Vista.

The Escondido Creek Conservancy is calling for construction of a series of community gardens in the city, as part of the restoration of its namesake waterway.
The project aims to revitalize Escondido Creek as it runs through the city, lining the flood control channel with a trail, linear park and other recreational features. Among those could be small local gardens “where residents of the city could be assigned small plots to grow vegetables, flowers, and the like,” Conservancy President Richard Murphy recommended in a letter to Escondido Community Services Director Joanna Axelrod, who had requested details on the proposal.
