Long Beach will soon become the first Southern California city to have separated bikeways in its downtown area, designed to help cyclists and vehicles share the road more safely.
Construction on more than two miles of separated bike lanes on Broadway (heading east) and 3rd Street (heading west), between Alamitos Avenue and Golden Avenue, is scheduled to begin on Monday, January 31, 2011. Upon completion of the project, scheduled for mid-March, bicycles traveling on the two one-way downtown thoroughfares will be separated from vehicle traffic by a painted median island and an asphalt curb adjacent to on-street parking.
