On Sept. 18, OCTA and other transportation officials opened an important two-mile segment of the OC Loop, a path for bicyclists and pedestrians to travel throughout the county.
OCTA officials including Chairman Shawn Nelson, Director Tim Shaw, and CEO Darrell Johnson led the ceremony at Behringer Athletic Facility to celebrate the opening of the segment of the Coyote Creek trail that runs near Beach Boulevard between Buena Park and La Mirada.
OCTA is working with transportation officials in cities along the OC Loop to create 66 miles of seamless bikeway and pedestrian connections across Orange County – from La Habra to Seal Beach, Huntington Beach to Yorba Linda.
About 650,000 residents live within a mile of the OC Loop, which provides a convenient path to some of the region’s most popular destinations such as beaches and parks. It also provides commuters with connections to many bus stops and three Metrolink stations, as well as major employment centers.
The loop is about 70 percent complete and being used by thousands of people. The OC Loop connects 17 cities, 200 parks and 180 schools in Orange County.
The County of Orange is working with cities along the loop on a feasibility study to close the remaining gaps. Nearly 46 miles of the loop are off-street trails along the San Gabriel River, Coyote Creek, Santa Ana River and the Coastal Beach Trail. Learn more.
