This notice is to inform you that the City of Long Beach will begin the process of reopening Pine Avenue, from 1st Street to 5th Street, beginning June 11, 2021.
This stretch of Pine Avenue has been closed to vehicular traffic since spring 2020 under the City’s Open Streets Program to allow more outdoor dining opportunities while COVID-19 restrictions were in place for indoor dining. Please review the information below pertaining to your business.
