Bike Lanes Coming To Pacific Coast Highway
The public has the opportunity to choose what the new bike lanes along Pacific Coast Highway in Long Beach will look like. The California Department of Transportation is planning to introduce bike lanes on the Pacific Coast Highway, starting at the Long Beach Traffic Circle and ending at the Los Angeles River Bike Path. The project aims to encourage community members to use alternate modes of travel rather than driving. Community input is essential so public can choose the design of the lanes. Three options include converting one lane of traffic into a protected bicycle path in each direction, creating a striped bike lane in each other, and removing a lane to create a raised parkway for pedestrians and cyclists. Caltrans will hold an open house to answer questions and address concerns on June 6 at the Guidance Center in Long Beach.

The lanes will begin at the Long Beach Traffic Circle and will end at the Los Angeles River Bike Path, according to the California Department of Transportation. The goal of the project is to encourage community members to use alternate modes of travel rather than driving.
"This project will contribute to the growing bicycle network in the region and ensure that users of all abilities can travel safely on the State Highway System," Caltrans said.
Community input is essential to the project so the public has the opportunity to choose what the lanes look like. There are three alternatives to choose from:
• The first would convert one lane of traffic into a protected bicycle path in each direction.
• The second alternative would create a striped bike lane in each direction,
• The third alternative removes a lane and constructs a raised parkway for pedestrians and cyclists with landscape separations. The public was encouraged to complete a survey to share their preference. Caltrans staff will also hold an open house to answer questions and address concerns on June 6 at the Guidance Center in Long Beach.
