The City of Westminster, in partnership with the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), invites community members to share their input through a new survey following the recent Walking Safety Assessment along Beach Boulevard (State Route 39).

Earlier this month, community members, local partners, and the project team participated in a Walking Safety Assessment to identify barriers and challenges to walking and biking along SR-39. Feedback collected during the assessment—along with survey responses—will help inform future design concepts and recommendations to improve safety, accessibility, and comfort for people of all ages and abilities.

Community members who live, work, travel, or do business along Beach Boulevard are encouraged to take the survey and share their experiences. The survey is available in English, Spanish, and Vietnamese.

Beach Boulevard SCAG Main Streets Survey
Survey closes February 6, 2026

Survey responses will help shape potential improvements and support future funding opportunities for Beach Boulevard. Project findings from the Walking Safety Assessment will be shared later this month.

About the Planning for Main Streets Project

This assessment is part of the Planning for Main Streets Project, a regional initiative led by SCAG to reimagine state highway corridors that also serve as community main streets. The project focuses on transforming roads like State Route 39 into people-centered places that balance transportation needs with community well-being.

Project Goals

• Improve safety and accessibility for people walking, biking, taking transit, and driving.
• Enhance quality of life in equity-priority communities.
• Align highway design with local community needs.
• Build local support and ownership of project outcomes.
• Develop grant-ready design concepts to support future funding opportunities.

What the Study Includes

Over the 2025–2027 study period, the project team will:

• Review existing conditions, including traffic patterns, sidewalk and bike access, transit service, and safety data.
• Engage the community through walk audits, surveys, workshops, and pop-up events.
• Develop and refine draft design concepts that prioritize safety, mobility, and sustainability.
• Prepare final recommendations, conceptual designs, and materials to help secure future funding.

Study Area

The Planning for Main Streets Project is studying four major corridors across Southern California—SR-1, SR-18, SR-86, and SR-39—located in Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Orange, and Imperial counties. While the broader project includes all four routes, the Walking Safety Assessment in Westminster focuses specifically on SR-39.

The SR-39 study area extends from Starr Street in Stanton to Hazard Avenue in Westminster, covering approximately 4.5 miles. This corridor includes major commercial centers, office parks, and key transit routes, making it an essential connector for residents, students, workers, and visitors.
