Community bikeway event set for this morning in Garden Grove

If you are looking for something to do this morning try “Redefine Hazard Avenue,” a fun interactive community event to raise awareness of potential future street improvements that make walking and biking in the community safer and more enjoyable. The County of Orange and the Cities of Garden Grove, Santa Ana and Westminster are in the planning phase for future street/bikeway improvements along Hazard Avenue.

The Redefine Hazard Avenue community event will provide area residents with a preview of proposed future street improvements by demonstrating a temporary protected bikeway along Hazard Avenue and other pop-up street features.

The event is part of the Southern California Associations of Governments’ (SCAG) “Go Human” outreach and advertising campaign, which works to reduce traffic collisions in Southern California and encourage people to walk and bike more.
