Here is a preview of what it looks like: LA-Más’ new street furniture coming to Reseda Blvd soon. In addition to the sidewalk pattern, LA-Más is adding new street furniture. Here’s what the finished product looks like: New patterned sidewalks on Reseda Boulevard. I jumped in and got my hands dirty painting a bit, too. Think People St plaza, but beyond just polka dots. LA-Más crews and volunteers were out painting a flagstone pattern on sidewalks on the east side of Reseda Blvd between Rayen Street and Gresham Street. Great Streets roped in LA-Más to give Reseda’s sidewalks a new look. Reseda Boulevard does have groovy new sidewalk patterns. Narrowed median and inner lanes preliminary striping on Reseda Boulevard. This is not your parents two-way center turn median. So even if L.A.’s first mile of protected bike lanes is not there yet, it is clear that LADOT is making room for them. I did notice that Reseda Boulevard’s striped median and inner travel lanes do appear a little narrower. Reseda’s regular bike lanes are missing after re-surfacing, as LADOT converts them into protected bike lanes. Unfortunately the parking-protected bike lane has not been striped. I took the train-BRT-bike trip to Northridge yesterday, hoping to witness and tweet the tectonic shift of parking spaces from sidewalk-smooching to sidewalk-arm’s-length. The big big big exciting news is that Reseda Blvd will, very very very soon, have the city of Los Angeles’ very first parking-protected bike lanes. Kudos to Garcetti, Los Angeles City Councilmember Mitch Englander, and the city’s Transportation Department (LADOT) for taking advantage of street resurfacing and the upcoming State of the City address to pilot some innovative new street designs in Reseda. The upgrades will extend one mile from Parthenia Street to Plummer Street. It is just one of fifteen priority streets identified for makeovers under Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti’s Great Streets Initiative. Streetsblog previewed Reseda Blvd’s exciting upgrades last week. Great Streets improvements are underway on Reseda Boulevard in Northridge. Update: LADOT Bicycle Program just tweeted photos of the Reseda Boulevard protected bike lanes! Woot! Wooooot! LA-Más crews spiffing up Reseda Boulevard sidewalks yesterday. It will provide a place of worship, an Islamic environment for individuals and families, authentic Islamic education, dawah programs for promoting understanding and propagation of Islam, a source of reference and support system for the community, and develop and implement all such programs within its resources that promote these objectives.Reseda Boulevard now has parking-protected bike lanes!
