The City of Vista's contractor will begin protected bike lane installation on the following streets beginning on Tuesday, August 12:

• North Melrose Avenue
  from Olive Avenue to North Drive

• Olive Avenue
  from North Melrose Drive to North Emerald Drive

• East Bobier Drive
  from East Vista Way to North Santa Fe Avenue

The work is expected to be completed by the end of August 2025.

Please note that during and after installation, there is no parking  permitted in the protected bike lanes, including those without berms and bollards. Drivers who park in the protected bike lanes are subject to citations from the City's Code Enforcement office.

Protected bike lanes offer a safer, more comfortable riding experience by creating a clear separation between cyclists and vehicle traffic. The use of green paint helps increase visibility and awareness for both drivers and riders, while berms and flexible bollards provide a physical barrier that prevents vehicles from drifting into the bike lane.

The installation of the Protected Bike Lanes is funded through development-related fees:

• Total Project Cost: $3.13 million
• Funding Sources:
  • Regional Transportation Capital Improvement Program (RTCIP): $1.55 million
• Traffic Impact Fees (TIF): $1.58 million
  RTCIP and TIF are paid by new development to offset traffic-related impacts.
