The train underpass south of Beverly bld. it’s been flooded for most of the month and the last rains make it impassable, Everybody it’s crooning by climbing and crossing the train tracks on top, it’s just extremely hazardous. I already reported a week ago but still nothing it’s been done.

Thank you for letting us know about the multi-use trail. I created a Trails Maintenance work order ticket and the crew will assess and work on the flooding.

The plants are overgrown and crossing into the southbound lane of the trail. Please have them cut down so that traffic can flow. As of 11/2/23, the plants are overgrown to such as an extend that an accident is inevitable.

Thank you for contacting us.

The Department of Parks and Recreation operate and maintain the County’s multi-use trails which are typically unpaved hiking, mountain biking and equestrian trails. We will inform LA County Public Works, who operate the bikeways, on the trail conditions of the bike path along the San Gabriel River Trail. 

The access point on Star Street in El Monte has been locked for quite some time. Are there plans to unlock that gate?

Response

Thank you for contacting us.  Durfee/Thompson elementray school locked the gate, but we will check in with them again.

How long is the trail closed (around the 8-9 mile mark) and detour going to be in place?

Response

Thank you for contacting us.  We were just made aware of the closure and advised that work along the bikepath will occur until September 15th.   

I'm a cyclist and bike commuter. I have an issue with the tunnel that goes under Whittier Blvd. It is much too narrow for two cyclists to safely go through at the same time while traveling in opposite directions. Also it is way too dark and poorly maintained. The only other option is to avoid the tunnel altogether and take the ramp up to Whittier Blvd. and cross the street to continue onto the trail or access the trails at the adjacent San Gabriel Spreading Grounds. There is no crosswalk at that point. Is there anything that can be done to improve this bicycle crossing?

Thank you for your comment.  LA County Department of Public Works maintains and operates the bikeways.  You can contact them directly through their online portal- select Bike Path under Report a Problem at: https://pw.lacounty.gov/contact/  

Its clean and hugh. You can go from La Verne, Ca 91750 to the Ocean. And catch a bite to eat along with shopping .

Tunnels and bike trail have a bunch of horse droppings beware!
