Summary
Long Beach has launched its largest street redevelopment yet, remaking more than five miles of Studebaker Road with bike-friendly lanes and other upgrades.
The project advances a bicycle master plan adopted 25 years ago, with city urgency rising as auto-related fatalities increase.
Studebaker Road residents are now seeing the long-planned redesign reach their neighborhood, though the overhaul is already drawing opposition from some locals.
The redevelopment marks a major test of how aggressively Long Beach will reshape streets for safer, less car-centered travel.
