Description

Description

The Festival Trail is a community-driven initiative to create interconnected, non-vehicular corridors connecting neighborhoods in Los Angeles, aiming to connect major venues of the 2028 Olympic Games with safe, car-free routes. A key project is to close the eight-mile gap along the LA River bike path from Elysian Valley through Downtown Los Angeles, which currently forces cyclists onto dangerous surface streets. There is $365 million earmarked funding for this connection, but the project is caught in bureaucratic stalemate. The Festival Trail aims to deliver a seamless 51-mile protected bike path from the San Fernando Valley to Long Beach, leveraging the momentum of the 2028 Games.
