Hi,
Anyone knows if there are any plans to pave the gravel bike path that goes at the edge of the San Jose airport? (In my case the part from Hedding to Brokaw.) Seems it has just been left unfinished in the middle of construction with a very bike unfriendly coarse gravel. Very hard to ride on with a road bike. Mind you, they did finish the road for the cars, and excluded bikes from it...

Expected to be paved this
Expected to be paved this year from Hedding to Alviso.
Also, I (and others) have ridden past the "No Bikes" sign several times without incident. If ticketed, we may need to argue in court that the sign is illegal.

I also heard that the path
I also heard that the path would be paved this year, although I also heard that the work being done on the bridge which has part of the trail closed (between Coleman and Julian) would be finished by Fall 2010.

Thanks for the heads-up! I
Thanks for the heads-up! I hope to show up; I'd like to hear why an illegal sign is considered acceptable.

what no bikes sign?
Did they take it down? I ride through the airport four times a week, on the perimeter road past terminal A and the CNG filling station, and out the gate at Central Expressway. I've never seen any no bikes sign there. I see people riding on the gravel path, wonder why they do that.

If you come in Brokaw, you
If you come in Brokaw, you wouldn't see it. It's just before the overpass on northbound Airport Blvd so it can pass over traffic exiting at Skyport.
They've also added a short paved bike pathfrom just after that sign to the loop road that passes under the overpass. I prefer the overpass, since I want to get to Brokaw.
