📍 Shoemaker Bridge Project Update | Community Engagement Matters

Had the opportunity to connect with Wayne Smith, Senior Program Manager & Project Engineer for the Shoemaker Bridge Replacement Project at the Port of Long Beach.

This is a major infrastructure project that will impact:

Traffic flow

Neighborhood access

Port operations

Long-term safety and connectivity between West Long Beach, Downtown, and surrounding communities

What’s important is that community voices are part of the process, not an afterthought.

That’s why LCNA (Locust Community Neighborhood Association) is staying engaged, informed, and present — making sure residents understand:

What’s changing

When closures will happen

How detours and access will work

Where public input fits into the process

We appreciate project leaders who take time to explain the work and listen to neighborhood concerns. This is how infrastructure and community move forward together.

📣 If you live, work, or travel through this area, stay connected and stay informed.

LCNA — Connecting neighbors. Elevating community voices.

Proud to be out in the community supporting the Uplift the Sixth Neighborhood Clean Up. This is what real work looks like — neighbors showing up, dumpsters getting filled, streets getting cleaner, and pride being restored block by block.

Big respect to Councilwoman Suely Saro, community partners, volunteers, and everyone who took time to make a difference. When residents, organizations, and the City come together, you can see the impact immediately.

This is how we build safer, cleaner, stronger neighborhoods — not just talking about it, but doing the work. 👊🏾
