RECOMMENDATION
Staff will provide an update on the Better Overland Project. Members can discuss and provide input to staff.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The Better Overland Project is an active transportation project extending from Venice Boulevard southward to the Fox Hills Neighborhood, including the Culver City Transit Center. The Project features over 2.5 miles of protected bike lanes, new and enhanced sidewalks and pedestrian crossings, sidewalk-facing streetlighting, new traffic signals at Overland Avenue & Kelmore Avenue/Ranch Road and Sawtelle Boulevard, and more. Together the improvements will transform Overland Avenue into an active transportation corridor, linking our neighborhoods, making this primary connector safer for all users and, promoting walking and biking as practical, enjoyable ways to move throughout the City.
Staff are implementing the project in phases based on available funding. To date, Phases 1 and 2 are funded; subsequent phases will be identified after funding has been secured. Staff continue to apply for grants and will be applying to the California Transportation Commission's Active Transportation Program (ATP) Cycle 8 program next year.
