The initial cost to install the berms and bollards was roughly $1.5 million, part of a multi-million dollar larger project. It’s estimated it will cost the city of Vista roughly $500,000 to remove them.

The city of Vista is rolling back elements of a bike safety project that were recently installed in various parts of the city.
All over San Diego, communities are adding bike lane safety features, but Vista is removing some of its safety features.
In March, the city of Vista started construction on a bike lane improvement project. The city installed berms and bollards in bike lanes throughout much of the city in an effort to keep cyclists safe from traffic. Now, just a few months later, the city is removing these berms and bollards in selected areas.
“Some people call it road furniture. I call it an obstacle course,” Vista Mayor John Franklin said about the newly installed berms and bollards.
