Way back in June, we reported that Council District 12 had given DOT approval to install bike lanes on Reseda Blvd. from Roscoe to Parthenia. We are happy to report that DOT crews have recently installed the lanes, closing the 0.5 mile gap between existing facilities. Reseda Blvd. now boasts nearly 10 miles of bicycle infrastructure that forms a continuous north-south backbone for the western San Fernando Valley. Many thanks go out to Councilmember Mitchell Englander, local area businesses (who okay-ed the on-street parking removal necessary for the lanes to go in), former BAC Chair Glen Bailey, and to everyone else who expressed their support to make these lanes possible.
