The Downtown Separated Bikewanes grand opening and celebration will be held Saturday, April 23, 2011 on The Promenade at Broadway & 3rd Street.
Construction was recently completed on more than two miles of separated bike lanes going east on Broadway and west on 3rd Street, between Alamitos Avenue and Golden Avenue. Cyclists traveling using the new downtown thoroughfares will be safely separated from automobile traffic by a painted median island as well as an asphalt curb adjacent to on-street parking.
The protected bikeway is a pilot project to create an attractive transportation alternative for travel into downtown. Modeled after a similar design installed in New York, it also creates a more livable environment for the increasing number of residents who make downtown their home.
