Seek out and develop bicycle routes, lanes and paths in the South Bay
Ensure that residential & commercial development includes all incentives possible for alternative means of transportation
Connect the South Bay Bicycle Paths by completing a Bicycle Path through King Harbor in Redondo Beach that is as close as possible to the water and away from the street and vehicular traffic
Developed Redondo Beach Master Bike Plan
Planned & sought construction of major Bike-ways ie:
lanes on Catalina, Hermosa, Grant Ave., The Esplanade
North Redondo Bicycle Path at power company right-of-ways, linking the green line to Torrance
lanes/sharrows in Hermosa's Pier Ave construction
Formed Hermosa Beach Bicycle Master Plan Committee
Opposed paving of Hermosa's greenbelt & recommend lanes
Defeated an overdeveloped Heart of the City proposal in Redondo & continue to push for a bicycle-friendly harbor
Funding approved for bike path at the North End of King Harbor
Developed and approved bike path policies in Redondo's Harbor Guiding Principles
Helped form the South Bay Bicycle Coalition
Get involved in city
government. Contact the Redondo city council. Call the Harbor Commissioners & tell them what
you think about a bike path that is accommodated in new development in King Harbor, closer
to the water and not next to the street.

Beware of fancy conceptual renditions of a harbor bike path with a park at the Hermosa border, which routes a bike path on Harbor Drive for most of King Harbor.
Encourage businesses that it is better for them to have a bike path in the mix of development close to business which may not mean on the street.
Ride along on family oriented Bicycle-riding events with SouthBayCruisers.com and discuss the issues
