Long Beach, CA ~ Long Beach, CA - The City of Long Beach Department of Public Works is taking steps to improve the safety and accessibility of the Orange and Alamitos Avenues corridor through the Orange Avenue Backbone Bikeway project. This project, with an estimated budget of $30 million, is part of the Elevate '28 initiative and aims to eliminate traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries by 2026.
To inform the community about these improvements, the Department of Public Works will be hosting two open house events on Saturday, Nov. 16, 2024 from 2 to 3:30 p.m. at the Cal Rec Community Center at Ernest McBride Park (1550 Martin Luther King Ave.) and Wednesday, Nov. 20, 2024 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the EXPO Arts Center (4321 Atlantic Ave.). These meetings will provide an opportunity for community members to learn about the proposed enhancements and share their feedback.
The Orange Avenue Backbone Bikeway project is a key component of Long Beach's Safe Streets initiative, which aims to make the city a safer place for pedestrians and cyclists. According to the Vision Zero Action Plan, Orange Avenue has been identified as one of the city's minor arterials with a high number of traffic collisions resulting in pedestrian fatalities or serious injuries. To address this issue, planned improvements include protected bike lanes, protected intersections, high-visibility crosswalks, and other enhancements for pedestrians and public transit riders.

During the open house events, attendees will have a chance to ask questions and provide feedback on the project. The input gathered from these meetings will help inform the final design of the bikeway. Both meetings will cover the same information and language interpretation services will be available in Spanish, Khmer, and Tagalog. Families are welcome to attend and light refreshments will be provided.
The Elevate '28 initiative is a comprehensive five-year infrastructure plan that includes nearly 200 projects aimed at revitalizing parks and community facilities while improving accessibility and multimodal transportation throughout Long Beach.

The Orange Avenue Backbone Bikeway project is currently scheduled to go to bid in late summer 2025, with construction expected to begin in late winter 2025, barring any unforeseen circumstances. This project is one of several key initiatives, including work on Studebaker Road, Pacific Avenue, and Artesia Boulevard, that are transforming Long Beach into a safer and more accessible community.
