WHEEL DISMOUNT ZONE

WHEEL DISMOUNT ZONE In order to create a safe campus core for pedestrians, it is recommended that the Chula Vista Campus establish and enforce a wheel dismount zone where anyone riding a bike, scooter, or skateboard is required to dismount and park their wheels. Service vehicle operator and anyone requiring a device for accessibility would be exempt.

Pole mounted signage would need to be incorporated at key locations and entrances into the campus core. Signage would need to be paired with bike and skateboard racks and corrals to encourage people to safely lock up their devices. Additional amenities, such as a bike tool station would help to encourage people to store their bikes and board in the designated areas and encourage ridership. Along with skateboard stoppers that have already been integrated into many of the amenities, such as concrete benches, at Southwestern College, this new policy would help reduce the damage within the core of campus and reduce maintenance challenges.

All wheeled transportation should be encouraged to utilize the Ring Road and Ring Walk which circles the core of campus and are described later in this chapter. In addition, all bike racks within the core of campus would need to be relocated outside the wheel dismount zone for users to access and further enforce this policy.
