Hello fellow bike enthusiasts!
Caltrans and the City of Long Beach are looking for public feedback on plans to add protected bike lanes along Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) in Long Beach.
Whether you live nearby, commute through, visit the area, or simply support safer and more comfortable biking options, your voice matters!

Interesting how the heatmap intensity on PCH heading into Long Beach goes from FIRE to almost nothing right at the Traffic Circle. It really makes a strong case that the demand is there, but the infrastructure is the barrier.

Am I crazy for not wanting to create bike lanes on major thoroughfares? I’d much rather have a side street be modified to discourage car traffic and encourage cyclists(round abouts at intersections, partial medians to prevent cars going more than a block at a time) vs be adjacent to cars going 30mph+. I don’t live there but looking at the maps I would take a different street (17 or 20th?) going east west vs trust a bike lane alongside traffic.
