Thank you @SupJaniceHahn for your leadership! We hope the 91 freeway widening project is done for good and that Long Beach can get transportation investments that don’t divide the community.

@DrJoniLBC I know a mic drop when I hear one 🎤 Thank you, @DrJoniLBC for your leadership on this. The community spoke loud and clear tonight with concerns about health, traffic, noise, and the impact of the 91 on nearby houses. If the community doesn’t support this project, neither do I.

This project would be transformative for Long Beach. With most of our residents working outside the city, we need more regional transit projects like this one!
Streets For All@streetsforall

Announcing our latest initiative – Hill to Sea: a dedicated bus rapid transit and bike corridor from Pasadena to Long Beach that would transform public transit in the San Gabriel Valley and Gateway Cities. hilltosea.com Here’s why this would be so transformational. 🧵

California Senate and Assembly leaders announce budget deal. They reject governor’s cuts of $148m to TIRCP and $399m to active transportation for 25-27 (not in current budget year, so would still be decided in future). Final budget needs governor approval. abgt.assembly.ca.gov/system/files/2…

In May 2024 revision to California budget, he proposes a $1.3 billion transit fund shift. I think this means using cap-trade fund to fund it instead of general fund. It appears to be different from January proposal. More information will come when budget documents are released.

Please attend if you're interested in PCH bike lanes! This project would make one of Long Beach's most dangerous streets less deadly. Alternative 3 has the best protection since the bike lanes would be at sidewalk level, away from cars!

We'd love to see the region invest in Metrolink. Maybe someday we could see a Metrolink line from Downtown LA to Long Beach. We love the A line, but this would offer faster and more comfortable connections to other Metrolink, Amtrak, CAHSR, and Brightline West trains!

At its May 31, 2024 conference, it looks like @MoveLATransit will announce details on a 2026 SoCal ballot initiative to fund cleaner air and combating climate change. In 2023, they said they wanted to fund EV subsidies, electrifying Metrolink and transit. movela.org/newday_agenda

@jbengough1701b Don’t think there are any plans yet, but we would love to see the city build protected bike lanes and some grade separation for bikes over the traffic circle. There’s a BRT line in early planning so if they are rebuilding that part of PCH it would be a perfect opportunity.

Caltrans is considering PROTECTED bike lanes on PCH from the traffic circle to the river! This would be a massive improvement to Long Beach's bike network since PCH is so dangerous now. If you want Caltrans to build these lanes, fill out this survey: docs.google.com/forms/d/11UhYA…

At all hours of the night, Emily Yep jumps at any noise her store’s sensitive alarm system makes because in the last 10 months Magnolia and Willow Antique and Vintage Mall has had a car crash into its storefront three times.   Read it on the Watchdog: lbwatchdog.com/p/were-losing-…

.@GavinNewsom you’re proposing massive cuts to the most climate friendly part of our transpo budget but fully funding highways? 🙄 “the tiny yet mighty ATP is about to be thrown out because the state would rather keep putting our money towards highways” cal.streetsblog.org/2024/05/15/act…

This is a great step in the right direction. Multi-modal transportation options are a much better use of funds than a parking structure. But it is essential that the city improves the bike lanes on Shoreline to provide seamless connections with the beach path and Alamitos
Jason Ruiz 🐀@JasonRuiz_LB

The City Council asked over two years ago for the city to look at expanding parking options in the area. A parking structure would at minimum cost between $6 million and $8.8 million, according to a report. Read more about it at @LBMGuild The Watchdog: lbwatchdog.com/p/more-parking…
