The Orange County Transportation Authority board of directors recently approved more than $19.5 million to help Orange County cities improve their bikeways and walkways, and $1.11 million of that will benefit Garden Grove for bicycle corridor improvements.
The city’s Bicycle Corridor Improvements Project will design and construct 6.5 miles of new bikeways and improve 8.35 miles of existing, but underutilized bikeways. Bicycle facility improvements include creating new bike lanes through road rebalancing (2.7 miles on West Street and Gilbert Street), striping buffers to existing bike lanes (5 miles on Brookhurst Street, Chapman Avenue and Lampson Avenue), striping bike lane network gaps (0.6 mi on Brookhurst Street), improving and creating bicycle routes (6.5 miles on Lampson Avenue, Gilbert Avenue, Imperial Avenue, Shapell Street and Deodara Drive) and provide bicycle way-finding signs along all the proposed corridors (14.85 miles).
The design of the new bikeways will be completed by early 2018 and open for use by June 2019. For more information, contact Erin Webb, Garden Grove Economic and Community Development Department, at 714-741-5313.
