Hollywood Boulevard is set to get a major upgrade, with construction due to start later this year. Including 3.6 miles of protected bike lanes, new crosswalks, wider sidewalks, and a dedicated bus lane. Take the survey from Council District 13 about these upgrades!

Thanks to speedy repairs, cyclists can safely pedal ahead on the LA River Bike Path near the Ferraro soccer fields. The repairs began in late January and were made possible by advocacy efforts from Streets Are For Everyone (SAFE), Pasadena Athletic Association, the local cycling community, and Councilwoman Nithya Raman and District 4, who pushed the project forward.

Cyclists will soon have smooth pedaling ahead on the LA River Bike Path near the Ferraro soccer fields. Once the Department of Recreation and Parks approves the laydown area permit, contractors will begin repairs on hazardous sections of the bike path sometime this winter.

After years of delays and foot dragging, construction work has finally commenced on the PCH Traffic Light Synchronization Project. Though community members have advocated for better safety and mobility conditions on PCH for decades, it took Caltrans until last week to commence construction on a project that was approved by the City of Malibu on 8 May 2017. In those intervening 6 years and 7 months of waiting, 29 people have been killed and 1139 people injured, including the 4 Pepperdine students who were recently killed by a speeding driver on 17 October 2023.

SAFE was delighted to join in the celebration marking the successful completion of the Safe Streets for 17th Street and Michigan Avenue Project. This is Santa Monica’s newest addition to their protected bike network, which connects Wilshire Boulevard to Pico Boulevard on 17th Street and Michigan Avenue from 14th to 19th Streets.
