Frequently Asked Questions
This Frequently Asked Questions section addresses common questions about the Carson Bicycle Action Plan (BAP), including what the plan is, how it was developed, and how community members can stay involved.
-
The selected streets called ‘priority corridors’ were chosen based on safety, connectivity, and community input to create a well-connected and achievable network. This plan is also focused on “quick wins,” meaning that many of the selected projects can be accomplished in the near-term.
-
Not necessarily. The BAP focuses on proposed bikeways on the seven streets below. You can explore the map to see whether any proposed bikeways are near your home, school, or places you visit.
Avalon Blvd
Central Ave
Victoria St
Del Amo Blvd
E 213th St
E 223rd St
Dolores St

If a bikeway is proposed on your street, that means it's been identified as a priority for implementation. However, no changes will happen immediately. Before any street design changes are made, this plan will perform additional analysis before sharing potential concept-level designs next summer. In many cases, the city will also need to secure funding before completing design and construction.
-
While this plan has a specific focus on biking, rolling, and scooting, it intends to improve transportation choices for everyone. The plan will also make recommendations that improve overall street safety and improve street design.
-
We'd like to hear about your concerns regarding bicycle facilities and what would make you feel safer using them. Your input will help shape our recommendations for infrastructure improvements that prioritize safety.
-
These bikeways offer the highest level of comfort and safety because they include a physical barrier between people biking and car traffic. These lanes reduce stress, attract more riders across all age groups, and make biking feel safer for new and experienced cyclists alike. Since many of Carson’s major corridors carry heavier traffic, separated lanes provide a safer, more reliable option.
-
In many cases, the city can simply narrow the travel lanes to fit the bike lanes.
Parking would need to be removed on:
Victoria west of Main
E 213th east of Martin
Avalon south of Carson
One or more lane to be removed:
Del Amo west of Avalon
Avalon between Del Amo and Carson and north of Gardena
Central over the 91 freeway
-
The project runs from summer 2025 to fall 2026. This includes research, evaluation, design development, and producing the final plan.
-
After the plan is completed in late 2026, the City can seek funding for the recommended projects. Some projects will get constructed as the City repaves the bikeway streets. Others need additional funds which the city can pursue through grant applications.
