    I'm starting to get tired of being chased by the security in Qualcomm during my commute at 2am. I know this is a designated corridor, but about once a week I am having to outrun them or I am blocked by temporary fences which I have to "negotiate". To tell the truth, it adds a little entertainment to an otherwise boring ride, but today I met someone who was having the same problems and I figured I would try and fix the problem before the security there intimidates someone out of riding.

    Anyone know where I can find municipal code I can show to the security managers if they ever do manage to stop me?

    I recommend contacting city bicycle coordinator Tom Landre. You can contact Lorie Zapf at District 6 as well, but you will likely be stonewalled. This whole area is in need of repair and reconfiguration. It's too much for the city to handle, so they will continue to ignore it.

    Thank You Eaton for finding that and posting.
    Table 1514-04A is essentially what I was looking for. That table is specific enough about how much space should be provided. Also a wealth of reading there.

    Pacmule:
    Its not an everyday thing. Like I said once a week or so. These security guards are trying to protect the property of the vendors who are selling cars and RV's in the parking lot now. Most times they will just shine lights at you and on a few occasions they have tried to stop me (verbally only, only twice did someone get in my way and put up a hand). When they realize I'm just riding through, they just follow me off the property.

    I will have a conversation with the management of the security (not sure what firm it is) and see if they will add it to the Post Orders that there is a bike path and not to obstruct it. Perhaps if it wasn't covered in 2 inches of sand they would know it was there. :-D

    Tom Landre is now in my contacts Wpstoll ty. I doubt I will have to let him or Lorie know until they put up fences blocking the path, and then I will have pictures of the fence. (yeah they put it all the way into the iceplant.)

    Thank you guys for the info, feels right to actually be trying to do something about this now.
