Rep. Barragán Announces $25 Million Grant for Pacific Avenue Protected Bike Lanes Project

 

LONG BEACH — Rep. Nanette Barragán (CA-44) Sept. 10 announced the City of Long Beach has been awarded a $25 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation to enhance Pacific Avenue with new protected bike lanes, pedestrian crossings, and other safety improvements. 

Rep. Barragán urged U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg to fund this project through the Department’s Safe Streets and Roads All or SS4A grant program earlier this year in a letter to the secretary. This program was established through the Infrastructure Law to advance community-led projects that reduce traffic collisions and improve the safety of all road users.

This federal investment will add two miles of protected bike lanes, eight pedestrian crossings, new transit stops, and other upgrades to Pacific Avenue, between Pacific Coast Highway and Wardlow Road.

Additionally, the City of Carson was awarded a $967,480 federal Infrastructure Law grant to update their comprehensive local road safety plan.
