Bicycle Corridor Improvement Project (BCIP)

The Bicycle Corridor Improvement Project (BCIP) was completed in collaboration with the City of Garden Grove, the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), and Caltrans.

The project aimed to enhance mobility, safety, and accessibility by expanding the city’s bicycle infrastructure network. It was a key initiative designed to promote sustainable transportation and support active mobility within the local community.

Scope of Work

NexGen managed the development and implementation of 15.5 miles of new bicycle infrastructure across five major corridors within Garden Grove.

The scope also included:

  • Installation of wayfinding signage throughout the city to guide cyclists and pedestrians.
  • Implementation of a video detection camera system at multiple intersections to improve safety and traffic management.
  • Coordination with multiple agencies to meet OCTA and Caltrans technical standards.

Project Value: $1.5 Million

Challenges

The BCIP required coordination across multiple jurisdictions and transportation agencies, each with distinct requirements. Managing construction along active roadways also required detailed traffic control planning to ensure public safety and minimize disruption.

Another key challenge was aligning the city’s design vision with state-level compliance requirements while staying within budget and schedule.
