SAN DIEGO The long-awaited Rose Creek Bikeway is now ready to ride, and for San Diego bikers, this couldn’t come soon enough. It runs parallel to the I-5 corridor, connecting the UTC area to Pacific Beach and Mission Bay.
“It’s very good,” said Jeffrey Reina. “I like it.”
“I’m excited,” said Joanna Mancusi.
The grand opening on May 26 was the culmination of over 3 years of construction. With a price tag of nearly $30 million, the new 14-foot wide path includes under crossings at I-5 and Mission Bay Drive, and a 260-foot long bridge extending over Rose Creek.

Local leaders were on hand Wednesday for the opening of the Rose Creek Bikeway, a multi-use path between the Rose Canyon Bike Path in University City and the Rose Creek Bike Path in Pacific Beach.
Together, the Rose Creek Bikeway and the Mid-Coast extension of the UC San Diego Blue Line Trolley represent a significant step toward realizing the Vision for SANDAG s 2021 Regional Plan, Blakespear said. These projects will provide real alternatives to driving alone, helping people connect to major destinations and activity centers around the region while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The Rose Creek Bikeway is intended to provide a safe option for people to bike or walk between points north such as Sorrento Valley, University City and UCSD, and points south including Mission Bay, Pacific Beach, Mission Valley and downtown San Diego.
