the separated bike lane project for 3rd St & Broadway in downtown LB continue on with a revised schedule.
the construction officially begins Monday, Jan 31 and will continue throughout February. the project is scheduled for completion by Friday, Mar 11. if you’ve ever hiesitated biking downtown because of traffic these new (experimental for LB) lanes will be similar to the beach path. because these lanes are considered experimental cyclists will not be required to use them. if you feel confident mixing it up with vehicular traffic, by all means, continue on. this glorious state of ours has no mandatory use laws for sidepaths (http://dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/vc/tocd11c1a4.htm).
