Fourth District Councilman Daryl Supernaw shared in his weekly newsletter the city's plans for major upgrades along Bellflower Blvd.

The upgrades to Los Altos Village’s main thoroughfare will begin in August 2025 and are expected to end in the Fall of 2025.  At present, it does not appear that the extensive work will be done before the CSULB Fall Semester starts on August 25, 2025.

The project will include the addition of bike lanes, featuring some sections with raised concrete dividers for lane separation, as well as the removal of a traffic lane and parking spaces.

The city website includes this information about the project:
