New Bike Lanes Could Be Coming To Palos Verdes Peninsula

PALOS VERDES, CA — Palos Verdes residents are invited to learn more about the Bicycle Pedestrian Improvement Project, which could add bike lanes along Western Avenue.

Caltrans will share a presentation with the Rancho Palos Verdes City Council on Feb. 1. The presentation was originally scheduled for Nov. 2, 2021, but was postponed at the request of Caltrans for project revisions.

This proposed Caltrans project would upgrade existing curb ramps to ADA standards and add bike lanes along Western Avenue from 25th Street in San Pedro, to Carson Street in Torrance. This route traverses the cities of Rancho Palos Verdes, Los Angeles, Lomita and Torrance.

The meeting will take place at 7 p.m. and will be live-streamed on the City website and televised on RPVtv Cox 33/Frontier FiOS 38. Due to the COVID-19 surge in Los Angeles County, public participation will be virtual only.

A staff report (PDF) for this topic is available on the City website. Residents can submit comments to the City Council in advance of the meeting by emailing them to [email protected]. Anyone who would like to provide comments during the meeting or leave a pre-recorded voice message can complete a form at rpvca.gov/participate.
