Long Beach Hosts Community Meeting on Del Amo Boulevard Project
By Staff Writer
Published on Thu, Sep 17, 2026
The City of Long Beach Department of Public Works is inviting 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 City has identified Del Amo Boulevard as an area where a high number of injuries occur, so this project will redesign portion of the road to improve safety and accessibility. 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 support the Long Beach Safe Streets Action Plan, Bicycle Master Plan and Complete Streets framework by adding physically separated bikeways, improving pedestrian crossings and adding curb extensions. Traffic striping and signage will also be refreshed to improve visibility and safety throughout the corridor.
Construction is anticipated to begin in fall 2026 and finish in summer 2027. 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.
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.
At the upcoming meeting, participants will be able to ask questions and learn more about the project details. For more information and to RSVP, visit lbcity.info/delamoproject.
