Eyes on the Street: Santa Monica’s New Michigan Avenue Greenway Extension
The 1/8-mile-long Michigan Avenue Neighborhood Greenway (MANGo) extension includes two short bike/walk paths and one block of two-way protected bike lanes
The 1/8-mile-long Z-shaped facility is an extension of the city's Michigan Avenue Neighborhood Greenway, called MANGo. The project includes two short bike/walk paths and one block of two-way protected bike lanes.
The new bike/walk facility is smart and strategic, aptly extending an existing low stress bikeway across a barrier - the 10 Freeway. The design and execution are very good, though the proximity to the freeway and its off-ramps means that the area remains full of car traffic. It can be a pretty loud place, especially for people on foot or on bike waiting for the light to cross 20th Street.
Below is a photo tour of the project from west to east.

Cyclists, skaters and pedestrians took to two miles of North Long Beach streets - including a revamped Artesia Boulevard - though participation was somewhat sparser than past Beach Streets events
Recent bike lanes on 43rd St, Westholme Ave, and Mesa Ave. Bike upgrades on First St and on Jefferson Blvd. Slow progress on Reseda Blvd displays city's meager HLA response.
