I cycle this road daily and am glad to hear of the SDCBC efforts. I
was cycling to work on the other side of the road the morning this
happened.

What was not addressed in the meeting notes is the need to enforce the
50 MPH speed limit. It would help a lot. The speed limit just a mile
back is 65. As a result many motorists are entering the 163 on ramp at
70 or more. A bicyclist has to cross *two* 163 entrance ramp lanes at
that point. There is a big difference between a car approaching at 50
and at 70 or 75.

Speaking only from my own personal experience.
