Would you like to see connected, protected bikeways from Redondo Beach to El Camino College? This fully-funded project is at risk of being seriously watered down in Torrance. If you would like to create a continuous and safe corridor, let the City know!

Project Overview

The Redondo Beach Blvd Metro Active Transportation (RBB MAT) project has been in design for several years to create 3.3 miles of low-stress bike lanes extending from Dominguez Park to El Camino College.

This will connect Washington Elementary, Adams Middle School, the South Bay Galleria, future K Line station, Redondo Beach Transit Center, and Alondra Park.

The Funding Agreement lists a project completion date of June 30, 2027. This project is funded at the county level via Measure M. This project spans Redondo Beach, Lawndale, Torrance, and unincorporated LA County and would connect thousands of students and commuters daily.

The current 15% design plans include include Class IV protected bike lanes throughout Redondo Beach, with painted Class II bike lanes in Lawndale and Torrance. Lawndale is interested in Class IV (protected) options as designs progress.

But Torrance insists on only painted Class II bike lanes. Do you think paint is safe enough on a busy street like 190th or Redondo Beach Blvd?

As seen on the map above, on 190th St, the type of bike lane would vary on either side of the street between Redondo and Torrance. We would like to see the bike lane and parking flipped to a parking-protected configuration, which should be possible with wide existing car lanes. Similarly along Redondo Beach Blvd, there would be an unprotected gap from Hawthorne Blvd to Ainsworth Ave that could be addressed with a longer two-way cycle track on the LA County side.

Ultimately we want to see a continuous low-stress protected bikeway to provide maximum safety and a connected corridor. SEND AN EMAIL to Torrance City Council and staff today, letting them know you want to see the safest possible project with Class IV bike lanes, even if it means trading a few parking spots.

Recent Updates

• The 15% design plans were approved by the Redondo Beach City Council on August 19th, 2025 (item N.1 here).
• Lawndale City Council approved the funding agreement to designate Redondo Beach as the lead agency for the project on September 15, 2025 (item 11 here) and also expressed interest in upgrading their section of the project from Class II to Class IV (protected) bike lanes.
• Despite retaining a majority of street parking in Torrance and only proposing to trade underutilized space for the protected two-way path, the project is not yet supported by the City of Torrance and is at risk of not happening within its city limits or being seriously watered down.
  • Let the City know that this project is a priority for you! Fix the gaps in the project!
