Default Low cold water pressure - Kitchen

I'm looking for ideas regarding my reduced cold water pressure at the kitchen sink (2008 2720SD). Pressure is reduced (about 1/2 hot water pressure) from storage tank, and on street water. Both hot & cold water pressure is excellent at the bathroom vanity. I've had the top ends of all faucets apart and all is clean/clear. Thanks in advance for any ideas you can offer.

Unscrew the aerator from the end of the faucet. It is probably clogged up with grit. Rinse off the screen, screw it back on, and all will probably be well.

That was one of my first actions. But, as I mentioned, the hot water pressure is twice that of cold and coming out same faucet.

Post winterized?

I had a similar problem with my kitchen faucet, only in reverse. The cold was flowing better than the hot. Then I discovered that the previous owner had installed a by-pass valve for the hot water heater and that it had become turned some what, closing down the flow. So I twisted it back back open and all was well. Here in Texas we really don't need to winterize (well maybe in Amarillo) like folks up north do. Anything below 65° and we turn on the heaters!.......They say, when folks from Texas go to hell...they take blankets! If you have a pressure regulator, you might try upping the pressure a bit....Or...consult your local Gypsy fortune teller!

Pull the cold water line off where it connects to the facuets cold water line. There maybe debrie blocking the flow there.
