ORANGE BIKEWAY
OverviewThe Orange Bikeway is one of seven segments planned as part of the North Park | Mid-City Bikeways, which will add approximately 13 miles of bike boulevards and protected bikeways and connect the North Park and Mid-City neighborhoods. The proposed Orange Bikeway will provide a vital connection for residents to walk and bike between vibrant communities within San Diego’s urban core – North Park and City Heights.
The Orange Bikeway will be 2.1 miles and will run along Orange Avenue between 32nd
Street and Estrella Avenue. The proposed bikeway also will provide important connections to several regional bikeways including Howard Bikeway to the west, University Bikeway to the east, and Central Avenue Bikeway in the center.
Proposed features include buffered bike lanes, median island traffic diverters, neighborhood traffic circles, curb extensions, and traffic calming measures designed to make the streets more pleasant for everyone – people who walk, bike, work, and live there.
BackgroundThe project will help fulfill the vision laid out in the San Diego Regional Bike Plan to make riding a bike a safer and more convenient choice for everyday travel. The Orange

On average, every $1M spent on bike infrastructure helped create 11.4 jobs compared to 7.8 jobs for road-only infrastructure.2
Up to 32% of people who bike use fewer sick days.
Up to 55% have lower health costs.
Up to 52% show an increase in productivity.1

• Require drivers to turn left or right rather thandriving through an intersection while allowingpeople walking and biking to travel throughthe intersection
• Reduce cut-through traffic by redirectingpeople driving on Orange Avenue
• Create a safer and more comfortableexperience for people biking and walking bylowering traffic volumes and speeds
Median Island Traffic Diverters
• Reduce traffic volumes and speeds onBike Boulevards by slowing traffic
• Allow larger vehicles like emergencyvehicles and small vehicles like bicyclesto pass through easily by includingwheel cutouts

PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS AND SAFETY BENEFITS
KeepSanDiegoMoving.com/OrangeBikeway
• Slow traffic and improve the safety andcomfort of streets for everyone whouses them
• Provide an opportunity for public artor decorative hardscapes in thecenter island
Neighborhood Traffic Circles
• Reduce conflicts and increase safety forpeople biking, walking, and driving
• Indicate clear paths of travel and stagingareas for people biking, walking, and driving
• Improve visibility and intersection operationsby allowing bikes to queue in front ofvehicles (bike box) and by signaling bikes tocross (bike signal head)
Bike Friendly Intersections
• Increase the comfort of people riding bikesby separating them from people driving carswith a painted buffer
• Increase comfort of people walking bycreating more distance between thesidewalk and people driving cars
• Calm traffic by narrowing roadways
Buffered Bike Lanes
• Alert people driving of crossings through useof high-visibility paint, signage and, in somecases, flashing lights
• Increase separation between people waitingto cross the street and people driving withmedians or bollards
• In some cases, provide a new crossingfor people walking and biking betweenintersections
• Can include raised crosswalks, which slowtraffic and improve the safety and comfort ofstreets for people walking
Enhanced Pedestrian Crossings
