About the Plan

The Los Angeles Bicycle Plan Update sets a long‑term vision for a connected bikeway network, safer streets for riders of all ages, and practical guidance for implementation. The draft document consolidates design standards, priority corridors, and tools for delivering near‑term projects that close gaps in the network.

  • Connected Network: Builds links between neighborhoods, transit, schools, and job centers.
  • Safety First: Emphasizes protected facilities, traffic calming, and intersection upgrades.
  • Equity & Access: Focuses on communities that most benefit from safe, affordable mobility.
  • Quick‑Build: Outlines low‑cost materials to pilot and iterate improvements sooner.

What does the draft plan include?

Network maps, facility types (protected lanes, neighborhood greenways), design guidance, phasing, and strategies for funding and maintenance.

Will this affect parking or traffic?

Some corridors may be reconfigured to improve safety and reliability. The draft explains trade‑offs and offers alternatives to maintain access.
