Bike Path Upgraded In Long Beach And Lakewood |
|
|
An overhaul of the San
Gabriel River Bike Trail in the Cities of Lakewood and Long Beach is
now complete, Supervisor Don Knabe announced today. The renovated
portion of the bike path is located between Carson Street and
Wardlow Road.
The project involved the reconstruction of the existing bike trail,
and the installation of new striping and pavement markings. The
total cost of the project was $373,139 with funding coming from
Proposition C Local Return Funds.
“It is important that the bike paths along our riverbeds are safe,”
said Supervisor Knabe. “These improvements will enhance the safety
and increase enjoyment of the numerous residents and visitors who
use San Gabriel River Bike Trail.”

Supervisor Knabe joins members of the Lakewood City Council and Parks and Recreation Commission to dedicate the Bloomfield Park Teen Resource Center in the City of Lakewood. The facility is a 500 square foot study and social center for a growing number of teen participants, and combines a work area of five computer workstations with a comfortable reading area, game tables and room for special events. A portion of the center's funding was made possible through a competitive grant from Supervisor Knabe. |
