Diamond Street Bike Path Construction Schedule Announced; Work Begins July 10 in Redondo Beach

Beach Cities Health District (BCHD) has named the contractor and announced the timeline for construction of the Diamond Street Bike Path in Redondo Beach, with work starting July 10 and expected to be complete by the end of September.  

In 2019, BCHD was awarded a $1.83 million grant from Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro), to build a bike path stretching between Redondo Beach and Torrance. The project has been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and a drawn-out approval process with the City of Torrance, who has since declined to participate in the project.  

Last week, the BCHD Board of Directors approved the selection of Cornerstone Construction Group, Inc. of Redondo Beach as the contractor for the project. The project will install a Class I bike path in Redondo Beach from the Torrance border southwest to Diamond Street and add sharrows (used in situations where cyclists and drivers must coexist in the same lane) on the Diamond Street cul-de-sac ending at Prospect Avenue. In addition, the project will add new paving, lighting and landscaping to enhance safety, accessibility and promote active transportation. 

Join us for Beach Cities Volunteer Day 

On Wednesday, August 9, BCHD, local businesses, organizations and residents will come together with one mission to create a healthy beach community. Our goal is to enhance our community’s health through the act of volunteerism. A simple act of volunteering can derive many health benefits such as higher rates of life satisfaction, social connections and longevity. 

Support our LiveWell Kids Garden Program by volunteering in our school gardens in Hermosa Beach and Redondo Beach to help prep them for the upcoming school year. Volunteer activities include harvesting, cleaning up, planting, weeding, assembling composters, spreading bark and more.
