benefit #1. More Biking and Walking

 Year round great weather in San Diego is perfect for biking. 

The 101 Highway is the most popular biking route in San Diego county and runs parallel to the the Coaster train. 

Increased biking and "active transportation" is a key initiative of SANDAG

the most popular biking route is the coast highway

  1.  The Coast Highway (101) is the most popular biking route in San Diego county, but increasing biking on this route is not feasible given the amount of traffic. A dedicated biking/walking trail would attract many riders. 

aND OF COURSE THE WALKERS, RUNNERS, STROLLERS & WHEELCHAIRS

NEXT Benefit: #2 Improved community connection

Rail-to-Trails provide are generating unique and powerful ways for people to connect with one another and build community.  LEARN MORE
