Residents are invited to give their input on proposed bike lanes along Pacific Coast Highway through an online survey created by Caltrans.
A post by the City of Long Beach’s Public Works Department said that “by introducing bike lanes on PCH, community members will be encouraged to arrive to their destinations through alternative methods of transportation.”
The bike lanes would begin at the Long Beach Traffic Circle and end at the Los Angeles River Bike Path, and are meant to increase access to the state’s highway system.
Caltrans hosted a community meeting on June 6 at the Guidance Center to inform the public about its Bike Lane Project.
Survey takers will be asked to identify their names and council district, as well as answer several multiple choice and one open ended question.
Questions on the survey include the following:
- What is your usual destination when traveling through the PCH corridor?
- What is your primary method of traveling through the PCH corridor?
- If the proposed bike lane alternatives were implemented, would you be more likely to consider biking or walking on PCH?
- Do you have any other suggestions or concerns that might improve bicyclist mobility along the PCH corridor in Long Beach?
The survey also asks people to choose between three options for the bike lane:
- A protected bike lane using plastic bollards
- An unprotected bike lane
- A protected bike lane separated from the street by concrete landscaping and light poles
