10:01pm | A community meeting on the city’s bicycling plan will be held on Monday, May 2, where residents will have the opportunity to make their voices heard while learning about the plan and obtaining information on upcoming city-sponsored, cycling-related projects.
Councilman Robert Garcia, along with city mobility staff, will host the public meeting at the Jenny Oropeza Community Center at Cesar Chavez Park on Monday, May 2, at 6 p.m.
“I’m looking forward to sharing all the great work the city’s done on cycling, and talking about the next steps,” Garcia said in a statement. “This is a chance for the community to ask questions, share input and get a lot of good information.”
Garcia’s presentation will include pictures and statistics for some of the cycling-related many infrastructure improvements that have been completed in Long Beach over the last few years, as well as information about current and future grants and cycling projects.
Garcia will also give a slideshow presentation of his recent trip to an international cycling conference in Seville, Spain, which was paid for with a scholarship provided by nonprofit groups.
Sumire Gant, the city’s transportation programs officer, and Charles Gandy, the city’s mobility coordinator, will be on hand, as will representatives from several neighborhood groups, including the Willmore City Heritage Association and the Downtown Residents’ Council. The meeting is open to the public.
Light refreshments will be served.
The park is located at 401 Golden Ave.
