Ocean Park Boulevard Complete Green Streets
This Ocean Park Boulevard project is the result of many
years of planning and collaboration between community members, City staff, and
other local stakeholders to create a model of sustainability, multi-modality
and low-impact street design. From Nielson Way to Lincoln Blvd., Ocean Park
Blvd. was turned into a "Complete Green Street,” resulting in a better
performing, enhanced streetscape that is pedestrian- and bicycle-oriented,
attractive, green, and prevents urban run-off from entering the Santa Monica
Bay.
Key Project Elements include:
- Wider sidewalks
- Parkway/storm water biofilter swales and infiltration areas, and a drip irrigation system
- Over 100 new trees, new landscaping and medians
- New marked crosswalks with enhanced overhead flashing beacons
- More visible, painted bike lanes and traffic striping, and new artist-designed bike racks
- Street furniture, trash and recycling cans, and 75 pedestrian-scaled light poles
- Traffic signal improvements
- Los Amigos Park storm improvements
