Local leaders and bike advocates on Thursday morning celebrated the groundbreaking for the Imperial Avenue Bikeway.

“Many people use Imperial Avenue for everyday transportation, and giving them a more convenient travel option is going to positively transform their connections across the region,” said SANDAG and San Diego County Board of Supervisors Chairwoman Nora Vargas.

The 3.5-mile bikeway project will help create safer streets for people who walk, bike, drive and take transit, said officials from the San Diego Association of Governments – the regional agency widely known as SANDAG –in a news release.

The bikeway will feature separated and buffered bike lanes, high-visibility crosswalks, curb extensions, shared lane markings and other street improvements to allow for greater connectivity for all road users.
