Local leaders were on hand Wednesday for the opening of the Rose Creek Bikeway, a multi-use path between the Rose Canyon Bike Path in University City and the Rose Creek Bike Path in Pacific Beach.
Together, the Rose Creek Bikeway and the Mid-Coast extension of the UC San Diego Blue Line Trolley represent a significant step toward realizing the Vision for SANDAG s 2021 Regional Plan, Blakespear said. These projects will provide real alternatives to driving alone, helping people connect to major destinations and activity centers around the region while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The Rose Creek Bikeway is intended to provide a safe option for people to bike or walk between points north such as Sorrento Valley, University City and UCSD, and points south including Mission Bay, Pacific Beach, Mission Valley and downtown San Diego.

Two hundred miles of high-speed rail carrying electric trains moving twice as fast as the region’s trolley system. A dozen new stations, including massive hubs near the downtown airport and the Tijuana border.
That’s the backbone of a recently released $160-billion blueprint aimed at making public transit as fast as driving a car which elected officials from across the San Diego region are preparing to discuss Friday.
Experts largely agree the plan’s long-term success would hinge on whether cities can usher in dense urban development around transit stations, at a time when birth rates in San Diego and throughout California are declining as overall population growth has all but come to a halt.
SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – Local leaders were on hand Wednesday for the opening of the Rose Creek Bikeway, a multi-use path between the Rose Canyon Bike Path in University City and the Rose Creek Bike Path in Pacific Beach.
San Diego Association of Governments Chair and Encinitas Mayor Catherine Blakespear joined San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria, Council President Jennifer Campbell, bike advocates and community leaders to open the bikeway, which fills a two-mile gap in the Regional Bike Network as part of the Coastal Rail Trail.
The bikeway was constructed concurrently with the Mid-Coast extension of the UC San Diego Blue Line Trolley.
