Rail to Rail path, bike infrastructure, and more bike projects in L.A.
This Saturday, May 17th, 2025, Metro will officially open the new 5.5-mile Rail to Rail path between Inglewood and Florence-Graham. The $143M project brings brand new biking and walking paths to South L.A., serving neighborhoods including Hyde Park, Chesterfield Square, Harvard Park, Vermont-Slauson, South Park, and Central Alameda.
Next, we’re looking forward to the opening of the L.A. River Path, a new 8-mile pedestrian and bike path along the Los Angeles River in DTLA between Elysian Valley and Maywood. While the opening date is still TBA, Metro is hosting community meetings for the project this summer.
By providing grants to cities in L.A. County, Los Angeles Metro plays a major role in developing new local bike infrastructure. Cyclists can currently enjoy 1,935 miles of bike lanes in L.A. County. If you want to start cycling L.A., check out Metro Bike Share, which is the city’s 24/7 bike rental service operating out of 225 stations around the city.
