Activities are scheduled this month to inform the Menlo Park, El Rio-Dragoon, Golden Hills, and Ontario Mecedora Bike Boulevard projects. These will create a total of 4 Interconnected Bicycle Boulevards along low-volume neighborhood streets supported by traffic-calming measures such as speed humps, traffic circles, push button, crossings, sustainable landscaping, and reduced speed limits.
