Where it stands
Comments close Nov 30: Draft Bicycle Master Plan
The City is rewriting its 2013 Bicycle Master Plan. It released the draft plan on October 16, 2026. The draft shows 2,025 miles of bikeways across the city, including more than 600 miles of planned separated bikeways (bike lanes set apart from car traffic).
The City says adopting the plan will not require it to build or fund any project now. Each project would get more review and be built as funding allows.
On the City's draft map, Serra Mesa gets one-way separated bikeways on Murray Ridge Road, Genesee Avenue, Mesa College Drive and a short piece of Kearny Villa Road.
It also gets bike boulevards on Afton Road, Hurlbut Street, Berger Avenue, Health Center Drive, Birmingham Way, and the Birdland streets Meadow Lark Drive, Starling Drive, Cardinal Road and Cardinal Drive. A bike boulevard can add traffic calming, such as speed cushions, traffic circles or curb extensions.
The separated bikeways planned on Ruffin Road are north of Aero Drive, in Kearny Mesa. The map shows no change to Ruffin Road's existing bike lanes in Serra Mesa.

After that, the City plans to present the draft plan to the City Council's Active Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. No date is set. This comes from a City list of climate-action milestones prepared for the Climate Advisory Board's October 6, 2026 meeting. The City Council decides whether to adopt the plan.
Planning group: The planning group discussed the draft network on April 16, 2026. There is no process for a community group to comment. So members agreed that people can answer the survey on their own.
The planning group lists the draft plan as a future agenda item.
The community council's November–December 2026 newsletter goes through the Serra Mesa streets in the draft. It says Murray Ridge Road would need to be reconfigured to fit a separated bikeway. It asks whether one fits on the Murray Ridge bridge, which Caltrans controls. And it says emergency access and the single way in and out of Birdland should be dealt with before any bike boulevard changes there.
The newsletter also reports an October vote by the Community Planning Committee, made up of representatives of each planning group. The committee voted to comment on the lack of maintenance on existing separated bike lanes, such as on Aero Drive.
