BACKGROUND
In late 2020, the Public Works Department was asked by residents to consider the installation of a guard rail along the westerly side of Overland Ave, south of Freshman Dr.
This request was raised to address residents’ concern over roadway-departure type collisions occurring as southbound motorists travel along to curved section of Overland Ave.
MEETING DETAILS
At this virtual community meeting, Mobility & Traffic Engineering Division staff will share information regarding:
• Available traffic volume and collisions data;
• Standard requirements for consideration of guard rails;
• Culver City bikeways, as approved by City Council in June 2020;
• Recent grant award from the State Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) to fund the installation of high friction surface treatment on the subject segment of Overland Ave, as a countermeasure to address roadway-departure type collisions;
• Other planned signage and marking improvements; and
• Future project steps.
Residents from the community are invited to provide input on the presented proposals and share related traffic operation and safety concerns.
