County To Rebuild Several Miles Of South Bay Bike Trail |
|
|
Over four miles of the
Marvin Braude South Bay Bike Trail will soon be refurbished or
completely rebuilt after Supervisor Don Knabe agreed to fund the
project with $5 million in Fourth District Capital Improvement
funds. The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors unanimously
approved the project today.
The portions of the bike path to be renovated are located between
Culver Boulevard in Playa del Rey and Calle Miramar in Torrance. The
project involves removing damaged Portland Cement Concrete (Cement)
and Asphalt Concrete (Asphalt) and reconstructing those portions of
the bike path with similar materials. Also, slurry and crack sealing
will be used when complete restructuring is not necessary. The
project will now go out to bid, and construction is scheduled to
begin in summer 2009. Over 21,000 feet, over just over 4 miles of
the bike path will be repaired or reconstructed.
The Marvin Braude Bike Trail stretches nearly 22 miles between Will
Rogers State Beach and Torrance County Beach, with most of the path
running along public beaches. This past March, the County completed
the renovation of a portion of the bike path is located between 62nd
Avenue and Culver Boulevard in the Playa del Rey community of the
City of Los Angeles.
“It is important that the bike paths running along public beaches
are safe,” said Supervisor Knabe. “I am glad to fund improvements
that will enhance the safety and increase enjoyment of the numerous
residents and visitors who use the Marvin Braude Bike Trail.”
