Long Beach, CA -The City of Long Beach Department of Public Works invites community members to attend a community meeting on Thursday, Sept. 24, 2026, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Scherer Park Community Center (4600 Long Beach Blvd.) to learn more about the upcoming Del Amo Boulevard Complete Street Project.

The project will redesign portions of Del Amo Boulevard to improve safety, accessibility and connectivity for all users. At the meeting, attendees will have an opportunity to learn more about the project, review planned improvements, ask questions and hear about the anticipated construction schedule. Spanish, Tagalog and Khmer interpretations services will be provided.

Construction is anticipated to begin in fall 2026 and be completed in summer 2027, barring weather delays and other unforeseen circumstances. The project will be completed in two segments: from Long Beach Boulevard to Atlantic Avenue and from Orange Avenue to Cherry Avenue. The segment between Atlantic Avenue and Orange Avenue was completed in 2022 as part of an earlier project.

Planned improvements include roadway rehabilitation, reconstructed curbs, gutters, curb ramps and sidewalks, new sidewalks where they do not currently exist and curb ramps upgrades to improve accessibility. The project will also add physically separated bikeways, improve pedestrian crossings, install curb and parkway extensions and bulb-outs, make median adjustments and provide transit upgrades, including new bus pads at key transit stops. Traffic striping and signage will also be refreshed to improve visibility and safety throughout the corridor.

As part of the City's High Injury Network, Del Amo Boulevard has been identified as a corridor in need of transportation safety improvements. The project also supports the objectives of the Long Beach Safe Streets Action Plan, Bicycle Master Plan and Complete Streets framework by advancing multimodal transportation improvements that enhance bicycle and pedestrian facilities, strengthen neighborhood connections and expand safer mobility choices.

This project is funded by Prop C, the Port of Long Beach Community Infrastructure Grant, Measure R, Measure A Bonds, Measure M and Prop A. It is also part of the Elevate '28 Infrastructure Investment Plan, a historic initiative dedicated to enhancing Long Beach parks, community facilities, mobility access and streets. More information about the City's infrastructure investments is available at lbelevate28.com.
