Long Beach, CA ~ Long Beach, CA - On Saturday, May 10, 2025, the streets of West Long Beach will be transformed into a safe and open space for people to bike, walk and explore their neighborhoods. This year's Beach Streets Open Streets event, hosted by the City of Long Beach and presented by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro), aims to promote sustainable and healthy living while also uplifting the City's Westside Promise Initiative.
The event, which will run from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., is a part of the City's efforts to embrace an active commuting lifestyle. By opening up the streets and encouraging different modes of transportation, Beach Streets promotes sustainable transportation options and supports local businesses.

Mayor Rex Richardson expressed his excitement for this year's event, stating that it is not just about promoting healthy living but also about celebrating the diverse and vibrant community of Long Beach. He also highlighted the alignment with the Westside Promise Initiative, a 10-year community investment plan that aims to address current and historic challenges facing West Long Beach.
