Following the December 13th ribbon-cutting event, attended by City Councilmembers, the Chair of the South Bay Cities Council of Government, School Board members, BCHD Board Members and many others, the Diamond Street Bike & Pedestrian Path is now open! Even as we celebrated the completion of the project, more than 30 bicyclists and e-bike riders utilized the newly improved thoroughfare, and we’re excited for the thousands more who will traverse this important link in the South Bay Bicycle Master Plan, going from North Redondo, Torrance and other parts of the South Bay to South Redondo Beach (and vice versa).

About the Diamond Street Bike Path Project

The cities of Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach are prioritizing policies that help make the healthy choice the easy choice.

Where we live, work, and play influences the choices we make. Creating healthy Beach Cities means creating surroundings where it’s easy for residents to make the healthy choice — from providing easier access to grocery stores than fast food restaurants, to providing bike lanes with direct access to work, retail centers, beaches and parks. Cities can support the health and vitality of citizens by introducing policies that nudge people into eating better and moving more.

The Beach Cities have been able to secure more than $8.1 million in grants and funding for livability projects that help make active transportation easier.

What’s more, the improvements that make a community more walkable and bikeable tend to be long-lasting. Sidewalks and bike lanes endure for years — even decades — improving the community’s livability well into the future.

Redondo Beach Phase of the Diamond Street and Flagler Lane Bike & Pedestrian Path

Beach Cities Health District (BCHD) is working with the Cities of Redondo Beach to implement a bicycle and pedestrian improvement project that runs adjacent to its Prospect Campus. The Diamond Street and Flagler Lane Bike & Pedestrian Path will provide an important connection between commercial, residential and recreational areas within the region. The new path will add bicycle facilities, sidewalks, and improved lighting to enhance safety and accessibility and promote active transportation. This project is funded by a Measure M grant from Los Angeles County Metro. 

The Diamond Street & Flagler Lane Bike and Pedestrian Path Project is under Measure M Multi-Year Subregional Program (MSP) projects for the South Bay Subregion for the Transportation System & Mobility Improvement Program. The project was recommended to Metro for funding by the South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG) in February 2019. The project will add a bike path, pedestrian infrastructure and improved lighting and safety enhancements to improve accessibility, promote active transportation and enhance multi-modal mobility options. The City of Torrance is not moving forward with their portion of the project at this time. Construction will only take place in the City of Redondo Beach.   

Project Scope:

The Redondo Beach phase of the project will install a Class I bike path from the Torrance border southwest to Diamond Street. The bike route will also utilize Class III sharrows (used in situations where cyclists and drivers must coexist in the same lane) on the Diamond Street cul-de-sac ending at Prospect Avenue.  The project also includes:
