San Juan Greenway All-new - a photo on Flickriver

San Juan Greenway All-new

            Today I cycled 10km from home to Glendenning Ave via San Juan Greenway.

 Say what you will . . . Saanich may have spent a fortune of taxpayers' dollars to upgrade the sidewalks on San Juan Avenue but none of it contibutes to the safety of cyclist using this route.
San Juan Avenue has copious amounts of signs describing it as a preferred cycling route but few amenities to make it so. No bike lanes. Onstreet automobile parking. No Shelbouren Street cyclist crossing light. Pedestrian crossing light for westbound traffic only.

Instead of including curbside laybys for automobile parking, Saanich chose to waste this valuable realestate to include more flowerbeds and grass. The annual maintenance cost to Saanich taxpayers on these ammenities must be mindboggling.

Anyway, we enjoyed this beautiful, spring day. Every sports field in Lambrick Park and Gordon Head School was in use either for baseball games or soccer matches. I've never seen these facilities used to this maximum capacity. I had most of my cycling gear off during the return trip. What a great day!
