Long Beach: New bike lanes, half a dozen crosswalks, 400 trees: The remade Artesia Boulevard is complete
"Improvements include protected bike lanes on each side of the roadway, repaved roads and sidewalks, six new crosswalks, accessibility improvements to 19 bus stops, 400 newly planted drought-tolerant trees, four new traffic signals, more lighting for pedestrians and Intelligent Transportation System equipment that aims to reduce collisions"

Instead of widening the Long Beach 710, LA Metro plans to upgrade streets, bike lanes and bus stops on nearby roads
I suspect there will be more pushback, but this is pretty great. It might include priority bus lanes, bike and pedestrian improvements, public greenspaces and more on Long Beach Boulevard, and bus stop improvements such as solar-powered arrival time displays, shelters and drinking fountains
Long Beach police blame the victim after a woman died when she was apparently knocked off a tandem bike by a hit-and-run driver.
"Police say they sideswiped a stopped car while riding in the bike lane on 2nd Street near Marina Drive.
A more likely explanation, however, is that an impatient driver tried to cut into the bike lane to go around stopped traffic, and hit the pair’s bicycle — something we’ve all seen drivers do before."
