Downtown Los Angeles installed a new 140-foot concrete 'Toronto barrier' along 3rd Street near 3rd and Main to protect bike lanes. The barrier is a short, Low Wall Concrete Barrier similar to a Jersey barrier and replaces or supplements flimsy plastic bollards commonly used on protected bike lanes. LADOT is pilot testing the barrier to evaluate how it performs for cyclist protection and street separation. The pilot will inform potential broader deployment across Southern California where stronger physical protection for bike lanes is needed to improve safety and reduce vehicle encroachment.
Downtown L.A.'s 3rd Street bike lanes got a big upgrade recently. The city Department of Transportation (LADOT) installed new concrete barriers near the intersection of 3rd and Main Street. The new barrier is only about 140 feet long, but it is substantial. So many of the city's protected bike lanes are protected by flimsy plastic bollards. Third Street now has a stretch of "Toronto barriers" also called a Low Wall Concrete Barrier.

They are more or less a short version of a Jersey barrier. LADOT is reportedly pilot testing the new barrier to see how it performs.
