SAN DIEGO -- A new public bicycle corral was the centerpiece of a set of new bike-friendly initiatives launched Sept. 6 in North Park. The initiatives bring San Diego closer to similar commuter environments in two other large cities, both with bike-friendly policies that are a model for the nation and provide a natural fit for San Diego.

SAN DIEGO -- The new owners of the entertainment complex located at 1202 University Ave., which most recently housed Eden, have turned to the community to help them name the nightclub portion of the space.

The venue will be connected to The Range Kitchen & Cocktails, which is currently in the process of moving from its former location across the street.

An online survey has been posted and community members are encouraged to select from one of the 11 suggested names, or submit their own.

SAN DIEGO – Hillcrest’s annual community celebration, CityFest, will return for the 28th year this Sunday starting at noon.

On the outside, this street festival may look like one of the many other similar events that take place across the city year round – vendor booths, entertainment, fair food and beverages. But once at the event, one will see that CityFest has a character, spirit, flair and fabulousness that only Hillcrest can provide.

SAN DIEGO -- While a push is on to improve infrastructure to make Uptown more bicycle friendly, cyclists and motorists alike are being reminded they need to follow the rules of the road and drive more defensively.

“Roads are for people, not just for people in cars,” said Jim Baross, a longtime cyclist and chair of the Normal Heights Planning Group. Baross has been involved in cycling-related transportation planning for years.
