The City of Los Angeles has completed work on the third and final phase of the San Fernando Bike Path, LADOT announced yesterday.

The latest extension, which includes four miles of separated bike path along the east side of San Fernando Road between Branford Street and Cohasset Street, now creates a continuous, nearly 10-mile north-south bike route in the northeast San Fernando Valley.

“The San Fernando Phase III Bike Path is a vital step towards enhancing community connectivity and environmental sustainability in Sun Valley,” said Councilmember Imelda Padilla in a statement. “Surrounded by heavy industry and major transit hubs, our community endures more pollution and traffic than most. By investing in sustainable infrastructure, we’re not only improving mobility, but also empowering residents with healthier, eco-friendly options for recreation. This level off collaboration across City departments and agencies demonstrates our commitment to ending historic disinvestment in Sun Valley and building a greener, more resilient future.”

The path is accompanied by new bus stop waiting areas, a bikeway bridge above the Tujunga Wash, lighting, safety fencing, new crosswalks, and signal modifications at five intersections.

The corridor sits parallel to a right-of-way shared by the Pacific Surfliner and Metrolink's Antelope Valley Line. Three regional rail stops are connected by the bikeway, which spans as far north as Roxford Street in Sylmar.
