Eyes on the Street: Santa Monica’s MANGo Bikeway Extension Is Now Open

Date:

The 1/8-mile-long facility includes two short stretches of bike/walk path and a block of two-way protected bike lanes. These connect the neighborhood greenway across the 10 Freeway to within easy bike/walk distance of Crossroads schools and the Metro E Line 26th Street/​Bergamot Station.

The small Z-shaped project includes two short stretches of bike path connected by a block of two-way protected bikeway. Construction got underway last June and is expected to be complete next March.

Neighborhood greenways, sometimes called bike boulevards, are streets shared by people in cars, on foot and on bike – with features to calm traffic in order to prioritize safe and convenient walking and bicycling.

Carter Rubin did a quick video tour of the new infrastructure this weekend. Find more MANGo extension project details at our previous coverage last November and in April.
