2 2010 has been a stellar year for biking in Long Beach, with many significant advances occurring on all fronts. New bike routes, innovative bike facilities, bike safety education, bike corrals, and more and we re just getting started. The purpose of all of these improvements is to make Long Beach a healthier, more active, and more livable community for all of its residents. We are a perfect community to take advantage of cycling and mobility given the great bike paths along the Los Angeles and San Gabriel Rivers as well as our own Beach Bike Path. Vista Street Bike Boulevard The 1st bike boulevard in Southern California was opened to much fanfare by the residents on Vista at a block party hosted by the Belmont Heights and Bluff Heights Neighborhood Associations on Sunday, December 12th. Photo: Allan Crawford 2 Once avoided by parents due to speedy traffic crossing at Park and Ximeno, Vista Street now serves as a safe route to school serving Horace Mann and Lowell Elementary Schools, as well as Rogers Middle School.

8 Coming in 2011 There s a lot to look forward to next year because a lot is underway. First and most exciting is the separated bikeways that are under construction downtown on Broadway and 3rd. They will be opening in the first quarter and will go a long way toward serving the growing neighborhood of new families that call downtown home. The update of the bike master plan is also getting started with community meetings throughout the city from January through March. And next up is the brand new downtown Bikestation and a new bike share program to serve downtown and CSULB through a Metro grant. There s much more on the way to include it all here - plus we have to save something for the 2011 Year in Review!
