Santa Monica MANGo extension

A couple of readers have reported that Santa Monica’s new extension of its Michigan Avenue Neighborhood Greenway, “MANGo,” is now open.

The 1/8-mile-long facility includes two short stretches of bike/walk path and a block of two-way protected bike lanes. These connect the neighborhood greenway across the 10 Freeway to within easy bike/walk distance of Crossroads schools and the Metro E Line 26th Street/​Bergamot Station.

Find more MANGo extension project details at SBLA coverage last Novemberand in April.

Reseda Boulevard in Tarzana

A steep hillside stretch of Reseda Boulevard appears poised to receive the first stretch of new bike lanes triggered by Measure HLA. The Bureau of Street Services (StreetsLA) resurfacing project there was done when Streetsblog visited the site a week ago, but the new bike lanes were still pending.

Santa Claus Lane Bikeway project

From Edhat.com

The Santa Claus Lane Bikeway project will begin construction after Labor Day and run through summer 2023. The project will create a new Class I bikeway and multipurpose path to connect Santa Claus Lane to Carpinteria Avenue. This will close a gap in the California Coastal Trail between Sand Point Road and Carpinteria Avenue (see map below). The new bikeway will be constructed in between Highway 101 and the railroad tracks.

As part of the bikeway project, the intersection at Carpinteria Avenue and Estero Street will be updated with new crosswalks, signage, landscaping, curbs and gutters, and bike lanes (see rendering below).  At the western end of the project, a new vehicular turnaround will be built at the end of Santa Claus Lane.

Driveway Closures on Carpinteria Avenue
Bikeway construction will necessitate closing alternate business driveways off of Carpinteria Avenue for short periods of time. The western first and third driveways will be closed from September to November. The middle driveway will be closed after the surrounding driveways from November to December. Driveways on either side of each driveway closure will remain open. Please see map above for driveway closure dates and locations.
