Uptown Bikeway Projects

The Fourth and Fifth Avenue Bikeways provide approximately 2.25 miles of separated bikeways and buffered bike lanes on Fourth Avenue and Fifth Avenue from B Street to Washington Street, for a total of approximately 4.5 miles of new bikeways. These routes connect the neighborhoods of Hillcrest, Bankers Hill, and Downtown San Diego. The project also includes dedicated bike signals, pedestrian enhancements and accommodations, and traffic calming measures.

The Fourth and Fifth Avenue Bikeways segment opened to the public in February 2022.

The Eastern Hillcrest Bikeways project includes several improvements to facilitate bike riding in the area. We will construct separated bikeways, buffered bike lanes, shared lane markings, and traffic calming features. The new promenade and park that we are building along Normal Street is a community-driven concept developed jointly with the City of San Diego. Learn more on the Eastern Hillcrest Bikeways project page.

The Washington Street and Mission Valley Bikeways project is the third of four segments planned as part of the Uptown Bikeways projects. The 3.3-mile bikeway project features separated and buffered bike lanes plus traffic calming measures and improvements for walkers, such as high visibility crosswalks, curb extensions, and traffic signal enhancements. Learn more on the Washington Street and Mission Valley Bikeways project page.

This segment is actually comprised of two segments: the Mission Hills segment and the Old Town segment. Together, they will add approximately 1.8 miles of bikeways.

The Mission Hills segment will extend approximately 0.7 miles along West University Avenue between Ibis Street and First Avenue. This project will update existing shared lane travel markings on West University Avenue with proposed features including neighborhood traffic circles, speed cushions, and other traffic calming measures.

The Old Town segment will extend approximately 1.1 miles along Congress Street between the Old Town Transit Center and Ampudia Street and along San Diego Avenue from Ampudia Street to Noell Street. Proposed features of the Old Town Bikeway include buffered bike lanes, shared lane markings, and two-stage left turn boxes.
