Chandler Bikeway To Get $1.2M In Improvements In North Hollywood

NORTH HOLLYWOOD, CA — The Los Angeles City Council Friday approved $1.2 million for improvements to the Chandler Bikeway in North Hollywood.

The bikeway runs about 2.8 miles along an old railway that stretches into Burbank from the Metro Orange Line.

Planned improvements include enhancements to the adjacent parkway, including the addition of exercise equipment, a "tot lot," dog run and street furniture; a crosswalk and ADA ramp improvements at Denny Avenue; installation of a new mural and restoration of an existing mural.

The City Council approved the funding unanimously, 13-0.

According to City Councilman Paul Krekorian, the Chandler Bikeway was created in 2004 to enhance the limited bicycle infrastructure in North Hollywood and has served as a "vital thoroughfare for the community since its construction."
