Alamitos Avenue Bike Lanes

The road diet and safety enhancement project began as a road resurfacing project that grew in scope as residents and local stakeholders expressed concerns of traffic speeds and accessibility for pedestrians and cyclists.

City Fabrick quickly worked with community members and City Officials to redesign the roadway to add buffered bike lanes (the first fully dedicated bicycle facility in Central Long Beach), pedestrian enhancements including continental crosswalks and curb extensions and infrastructure for future controlled intersections. These improvements were completed in the Spring of 2016 and were instrumental in Alamitos and Orange Avenues being identified as a backbone of the Citywide bike network according to the City’s Bicycle Master Plan. Subsequently, bicycle facilities have been extended south the Long Beach’s campus beach path and construction will begin on the extension north along Orange Avenue to Long Beach’s northern most border in late 2025.
