Focus for the SDCBC in 2010: The Urban Core

Kathy Keehan, Executive Director of the San Diego County Bicycle Coalition

To conclude 2009, the San Diego County Bicycle Coalition held a board retreat in order to decide the focus of the Coalition’s efforts in 2010. One of the conclusions that was reached at the retreat was to place more advocacy efforts on the ‘urban core’ in the city of San Diego.

Reasons for doing so were based on the growing numbers of young, energetic bicycle advocates who resided in the urban core. Kathy Keehan, Executive Director for the SDCBC, has been actively working with the bicycling community to promote bicycling in San Diego. The urban core has been loosely defined as being bordered by the 8 on the north, the 94 on the south, Harbor Drive on the west and 70th on the east.
