Bayshore Bikeway

SANDAG’s Bayshore Bikeway will provide a safe and scenic way for people who walk, ride, and roll to travel around San Diego Bay. It will eventually extend 24 miles around the bay, providing easy access to major bayfront employers and recreational destinations. We are developing additional improvements based on the Bayshore Bikeway Plan adopted in 2006.

The Bayshore Bikeways project is part of the Regional Bike Plan Early Action Program approved by the SANDAG Board of Directors in September 2013, and it will connect to the larger bikeway network being built throughout the region as part of the Regional Bike Plan. TransNet is funding the cost of project’s planning, design, and construction.

The Bayshore Bikeway Taskforce, which includes representatives from the five cities around San Diego Bay, the County of San Diego, the San Diego Unified Port District, and the bicycling community, guides the development of the bikeway.

Bayshore Bikeway Segments

In 2012, SANDAG partnered with the City of Chula Vista and the Port of San Diego to complete this 1.8-mile segment of the Bayshore Bikeway between Palomar and H streets in Chula Vista. The bikeway’s $2.5 million cost was funded by a federal Transportation Enhancement Program grant and TransNet.

We completed one of the most scenic segments of the Bayshore Bikeway in 2015. It runs along Harbor Drive between 32nd Street and Vesta Streets in the City of San Diego. This 0.6-mile extension was the first phase of construction for a project that will eventually connect the existing bike path in National City with the Gordy Shields Bridge over the Sweetwater River.

SANDAG completed this segment in early 2018. It features a 1-mile separated bike path along Harbor Drive from the National City boundary at the north end to Civic Center Drive and Tidelands Avenue at the south end. SANDAG also installed bike lanes on Tidelands Avenue and West 32nd Street to provide an interim route while the San Diego Port District plans the final bike path connection south of Civic Center Drive. This is part of their National City bayfront redevelopment plans.

Construction began in April 2020 at E Street and Bay Boulevard as part of the Costa Vista RV Resort project. The work will have minimal and periodic impacts on the Bayshore Bikeway. The bikeway will remain open, but people using it can expect some detours and temporary delays. For safety, please pay attention and adhere to all signage.

This segment will provide residents of this historic community with a safe and scenic way to ride or walk along Harbor Drive. It will stretch 2.5 miles along Harbor Drive between Park Blvd. and 32nd Street and connect two existing segments of the Bayshore Bikeway.

SANDAG held a virtual construction information session on Monday, May 23, 2022, to provide an overview of the Bayshore Bikeway Barrio Logan Segment and information about the project's construction. The Resources section below contains links to the recordings of the meeting.

The Barrio Logan Segment is currently in construction and is anticipated to open to the public in 2025.
