The City Council approved the City of Culver City’s first Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan on November 8th. To download the approved BPMP or find out more about the process of developing the BPMP, please visit the Documents page.
The creation of the BPMP was a collaborative effort on the part of the City of Culver City, Alta Planning and Design, LA County Bicycle Coalition, and the community. It was made possible through a grant from the LA County Department of Public Health’s Policies for Living, Active Communities and Environments (PLACE) Program.
Temporary Closure of Ballona Creek Bike Path for Maintenance
We want to advise you that on Monday, July 11th, the City of Culver City Public Works Department will begin making some repairs on the Ballona Creek Bike Path, between the National Bl. (Syd Kronenthal Park) and Duquesne Ave. entrances. The repairs will consist of removing/replacing existing asphalt ramps, where necessary, along this segment of the path. We estimate a 2-3 day time frame for completing the repairs and will need to close the path between 7am – 3:30pm. Signage will be posted today at Sepulveda, Overland, Duquesne, and National entrances, stating the limits and hours of the closure. We will not be closing the path all day, but rather during the time that our equipment and repair work will be blocking the path. The material we will use is fast setting (1hr max. ). This will help in keeping the path open during non-working hours.
We apologize for the short notice and inconvenience, but we have an opening and the crews available at this time to implement this repair.
A little bit about Culver City...
Situated between the Cheviot Hills to the north, the Baldwin Hills to the south, bisected by the Ballona Creek, and carved by a web of eight major arterials—Culver City’s surrounding geography has led to the development of an irregular (broken-grid) roadway network which presents unique challenges for non-motorized transportation.
A little bit about the project...
The Culver City Bicycle and Pedestrian Initiative aims to help residents and visitors overcome these barriers. The initiative will compile updates in policy, program and infrastructure into the City’s first comprehensive Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan. This plan will guide the improvements for cycling and walking citywide.
Additionally, the impending arrival of the Exposition Light Rail Transit line and the bikeway alongside it, on the edge of the city, provides an excellent opportunity to enhance the adjacent area, promoting safe and comfortable non-motorized access to the station. The initiative features a physical project element that will focus on providing bicyclists and pedestrians with these connections—the Expo to Downtown Bicycle and Pedestrian Connector.
We hope you participate in this process to make Culver City a place that offers active, sustainable and safe, lifestyles, where people bike and walk for transportation and recreation.
