🚲 UPDATE: We rode the full bike route this morning from Citrus Ave. to Irwindale Ave.
Gets a little hairy when the path spits you out on busy Arrow Highway just east of Azusa Ave., then you have about a mile of on-street bike lanes to the second wash segment. Took 15 minutes end-to-end.

2) There’s another wash segment to the east. Starts at Citrus (in blue) and ends at Arrow Highway east of Azusa Ave. You have to take a street-level bike lane (in green) along Arrow for about half a mile, then turn south on Lark Ellen for another ½ mile to reach the western segment (also blue).

The face of someone who wanted more bikeway. It only took us six minutes at a leisurely pace.

Felt more like the Little Dalton Wash bikeway. The calm, car-free space ends at Irwindale Ave. where this sign reminds cyclists and pedestrians of their place in the public space hierarchy.

There’s a little repair station as you enter / exit with some tools and an air pump, plus some bike racks and a trash can.

I spoke with Ben this week. He feels angry, betrayed and reduced to “a pawn in this political game.”
He also worries what will happen to Los Padres and other U.S. public lands with thousands fewer people monitoring and managing forests to reduce the risk of fires, landslides and other hazards.
