Join the City of San Diego and Council President Todd Gloria for a special ribbon cutting ceremony at the “IBEW lot.” In celebration of the opening of temporary parking facility at the site of the future Mission Hills / Hillcrest Branch Library at the intersection of Washington and Front streets, there will be a short (20 minute) celebration tomorrow, Thursday July 31st at 11:15 AM.
The event was just planned yesterday, so please help us spread the word!
The UCPD intends to work with the city to market this lot and we are hopeful that this will help alleviate parking impacts in our district!

San Diego’s First Bike Corral to Open May 14
Hillcrest is Home to the First Street Parking Spaces for Bikes
SAN DIEGO, CA (May 11, 2012) – San Diego City Councilmember Todd Gloria, bicycle advocates and local neighbors and business owners will celebrate the completion of the City’s first bike corral at 12:00 p.m. on Monday, May 14 on Fifth Avenue just north of University Avenue.
The bike corral provides dedicated on-street parking for 12 bicycles in the space normally taken by one parked car. People should also bring locks for their bikes, I found the best bike lock reviews by Chooserly.com. Providing more parking for bikes will encourage local business patrons to choose bicycle transportation over cars. The Uptown Community Parking District provided funds to complete the bike corral to address the parking shortage. A grant from the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) was also used to fund a large portion of this project
The San Diego County Bicycle Coalition and local business owners have advocated for more bike facilities throughout the City. Additional corrals are in the works for other neighborhoods with strong interest in promoting bicycling. The corrals have proven to be a successful addition to bike systems in many other cities across the country from Portland to Pittsburgh.
In celebration of the bike corral’s completion, Snooze Eatery (3940 Fifth Ave.) will donate 100% of the proceeds from Monday’s sales of its bike-themed Pancake of the Day to the San Diego County Bicycle Coalition.
