BikeNOPA has some wound-relieving wounds for cyclists who bumble their way through Golden Gate Park on a daily basis. The long stretch of Golden Gate Park will receive a much-needed repaving in time for Spring.
BikeNOPA reports:
At long last repaving is coming to the south side streets of Golden Gate Park, primarily to Martin Luther King Drive. While a repaved western section of JFK Drive has delighted bicyclists, motorists, and pedestrians since last spring on the north side of the city's premiere park, MLK has posed a dodge-and-swerve guantlet to travelers for years. Body-rattling and sometimes jaw-dropping craters have plagued the long stretch between the Great Highway and Kezar Drive. Even the Recreation and Parks Commission's Capital Committee referred to the "treacherous eastern section of MLK Drive" in a memo last month to General Manager Philip Ginzburg.
In addition to repaving MLK, which will grace the area between Kezar Drive and 19th Avenue, the face lift will include adding new curb ramps, re-striping of crosswalk, and more. Work will begin at the start of Spring.
