The proposed 8.3-mile section of the 26-mile long Harbor Subdivision establishes an off-street facility and community resource for pedestrians and bicyclists through the heart of South Los Angeles, connecting residential neighborhoods to transit, and other destinations. This detailed feasibility study fully investigates the viability of the active transportation corridor as a potential interim project on the identified ROW. This includes the evaluation of factors such as potential use, impact on streets and adjacent land uses ROW restrictions, cost/benefit assessment, and conceptual design, and BNSF operations impact.

The project intends to provide county-wide connectivity to the Los Angeles River, as well as an active transportation corridor that improves and enhances linkages between the Metro Blue Line station at Slauson Avenue and Long Beach Avenue, and the future Crenshaw/LAX light rail station at Florence Avenue and West Boulevard. Countywide benefits include increasing the catchment area for transit, providing safe first and last-mile options, and providing improved connectivity to surrounding communities and beyond.
