Carson Bicycle Action Plan
Street Improvements Are Rolling Your Way!
Thank you, Carson! Over the past year, community members have helped shape the Bicycle Action Plan by sharing feedback, priorities, and experiences to help improve bicycling throughout the city.
Through two phases of outreach, the community provided input on bicycling needs and reviewed proposed bicycle and safety improvements for seven priority streets. Your participation through surveys, community meetings, events, and other outreach activities has helped inform the plan.
With community outreach now complete, the City is preparing the Bicycle Action Plan for adoption. The Plan will bring together community feedback and proposed improvements to help guide future bicycle planning throughout Carson.
The Streets at the Center of the Plan:
Victoria Street
Central Avenue
223rd Street
Avalon Boulevard
Dolores Street
213th Street
Del Amo Boulevard
Overview
The City of Carson is developing a Bicycle Action Plan (BAP) that builds on the recently completed Carson Active Transportation and Connectivity Plan (CATCP) to advance seven near-term bikeway corridors by 2030. The Plan evaluates Carson’s existing streets and trails to identify opportunities to improve safety, connectivity, and comfort while fostering a stronger bike culture. Guided by community input, the BAP will serve as a roadmap for implementing actionable projects that deliver community-wide benefits and encourage biking and rolling.
Community input has played an important role in shaping the BAP. Through surveys, workshops, and community events, residents shared their ideas, identified challenges, and helped inform the Plan’s recommendations. This feedback helped ensure the BAP reflects community priorities and informs future investments that improve quality of life for everyone.
The City has several existing bikeways and is advancing additional bikeways through capital improvement projects. The map below illustrates these existing and planned facilities, highlighting the growing bicycle network throughout Carson.
The Bicycle Action Plan’s Four Goals

Focus on What Can Be Built
Create a plan with real, near-term projects that are achievable and can be funded and constructed in phases.
Deliver Community Benefits
Design bikeways that support safe travel and bring added benefits like greener streets, welcoming spaces, and neighborhood improvements.
Foster a Bike-Friendly Culture
Encourage biking through community input and programs that make riding feel inviting and accessible to everyone.
What is a Bicycle Action Plan?
A Bicycle Action Plan serves as a focused, near-term guide for creating a more connected, safe, and bicycle-friendly city. Unlike long-range master plans, an action plan emphasizes immediate strategies and advances the design of implementable projects that move a community toward its vision for biking. For Carson, this means developing a plan that not only aligns with the City’s priorities but also reflects the voices and needs of the community. The BAP will provide clear, achievable steps to expand access, improve safety, and create a culture of bicycling as part of everyday life.
