A “Bikeway Village” for Imperial Beach?
Posted By Thomas Bahde on September 3, 2009
More interesting bike news from the mainstream press! The Union-Tribune reports on a proposed “Bikeway Village” along the Bayshore Bikeway. Sounds like a good idea to us!
The owner of two Imperial Beach warehouses hopes to convert his bayfront property into a rest stop and haven for bicyclists along the 24-mile Bayshore Bikeway.
Rex Butler, who has owned the two 15,000-square-foot warehouses for nearly a year, hopes his “Bikeway Village” concept will capitalize on the halfway point of the nearby bike trail and views of San Diego Bay with proposed amenities such as a cafe, bike shop, day spa, ice cream shop, bookstore or perhaps a youth hostel.
Check out the story for more information and an artist’s rendering of the proposed site.
Neato! Rex had me at “ice cream shop.” My first time riding that down thataways was for Bike the Bay. I told myself I should head down there more often … if a “haven” with an ice cream shop would be even more inviting!
yes please!!!
