Last week, SAFE and Festival Trail co-hosted a Finish the LA River Bike Path by 2028″ webinar. This event brought together advocates and community members who all share a common goal: pushing Metro to finally close the eight-mile gap in the LA River Bike Path and deliver 32 miles worth of safe, continuous active transportation across Los Angeles County.
The LA River Bike Path is one of the region’s most important yet incomplete pieces of infrastructure. While several segments already serve thousands of cyclists and walkers each year, the gap through downtown LA continues to force people onto dangerous streets, undermining the path’s potential to provide safe, equitable access for commuting and recreation. This webinar was an opportunity to break down where the project stands today, what’s needed to move it forward, and how the public can play a role in ensuring it’s completed.
