Join us on a tour of the Merced Ave. Greenway, the first sidewalk level protected bike lane in the SGV!Join ActiveSGV for a tour of the Merced Ave Greenway Project!
The Merced Ave Greenway project aims to demonstrate how street design can combat rising temperatures, increase pedestrian/bicyclist safety, and improve local water quality. A neighborhood-scale project like Merced Avenue is intended to provide a real-world model of watershed-based design that integrates many ongoing efforts in the region to address flood management, water quality and habitat restoration.
The ride will start and end at the Jeff Seymour Family Center, 10900 Mulhall St, El Monte, CA 91731. The ride will follow the San Gabriel River Bike Path to the majestic Whittier Narrows Recreational Area and then we'll tour of the Merced Ave Greenway project.
