Share your Thoughts – Mid-City Bicycle and Pedestrian Connections

The City of Long Beach is seeking funding for bicycle boulevards on 8th and 11th Streets and pedestrian islands on 10th Street. The proposed traffic calming treatments will reduce cut-through traffic and speeding, creating a comfortable space for drivers and bicyclists to share the road. The pedestrian islands will help people on foot and on bikes more easily navigate across 10th Street and will better connect the 8th and 11th Street routes. Potential improvements to the area will include bike routes, curb extensions, raised intersections, and rectangular rapid flashing beacons among other traffic calming elements shown here: bit.ly/MidCityBikePed

The City of Long Beach Public Works department created a survey to gather input from the community. Please take a moment to fill out the survey here: http://bit.ly/MidCitySurvey
