The County is planning to resurface and restripe Los Osos Valley Road (LOVR) as early as mid-May. As part of this project, many Los Osos residents are interested in improving conditions for kids, commuters, recreational cyclists and others to safely ride bikes through Los Osos on LOVR.
A preliminary concept includes adding buffered bike lanes on both sides of the street from Los Osos Creek to Bush Drive, potentially designated with a green color similar to some of SLO's green lanes. Currently, there are no striped bike lanes between Fairchild and Bush and the shoulder parking is underutilized. A buffered bike lane is a regular bike lane with painted double lines between the bike lane and the vehicular travel lane. For more information on buffered bike lanes see the state's Manual for Uniform Traffic Control Devices, and the National Association of City Transportation Officials Urban Bikeway Design Guide.

Seeing this level of support reminds me of all the times I have held my breath while my own kids ride along this road. This momentum proves that our community refuses to accept the current danger for one more day.

I would etched rumble strip to keep cars out of the bike lane. paint does not alert drivers when they have strayed into the bike lane.
having children and being a cyclist, safer conditions on LOVR is a must. Being home to a very popular cycling destination, better conditions would promote more traffic and commerce.
I would ride my bike to work but I've always felt it was to dangerous to ride on LOVR in the Bush St area. Sounds like a great idea.
The road in this area is wide enough for cars and cyclists but no markings exist so some cars wander close to the shoulder. A designated marking would help both drivers and cyclists.
we don't need the parking spaces on the street so I'm all for creating a safer way for all cyclists to travel on LOVR!
DO IT!
I ride this road every day...I would love to see more protection for bikers!

This would be a huge benefit to the community. We avoid LOVR now, but know we would be able to visit the businesses there regularly if the buffered bike lane were there.
