The Port of L.A.'s Front Street Beautification Project walk/bike path is open for use. The $10 million Front Street project is one of many improvements transforming former industrial waterfront spaces to be more accessible and welcoming to the public.
Front Street project construction kicked off in March 2023, and is now complete. Though construction is currently underway on Front Street itself as part of a $130 million Caltrans project reconfiguring several San Pedro streets and ramps at the west end of the Vincent Thomas Bridge. That current bridge-approach project is separate from Caltrans' upcoming bridge deck replacement project.
The Front Street project features a new landscaped Gateway Plaza area at the intersection of Front and Pacific Avenue.
The new 12-foot-wide multi-use path features landscaping and lighting. The half-mile long path extends from Regan Street to just west of Pacific Avenue.
From the new path, pedestrians and cyclists can continue south via the shared Harbor Boulevard Parkway Promenade.
From the north end of the path cyclists and pedestrians can take an existing wide sidewalk path to Pacific and Channel Street. From there, unprotected bike lanes on Pacific connect into Wilmington, where the Port opened the Wilmington Waterfront Promenade earlier this year, nearby the 30-acre Wilmington Waterfront Park which opened in 2011.
