East Pico Safety Project
Project
Overview
The East Pico Boulevard Quick Build Safety Project will explore improvements to maximize pedestrian safety on Pico Boulevard, between South Centinela Avenue and 28th Street/Stewart Street. This project will inventory existing conditions and incorporate a robust public engagement process to address the community’s safety concerns and accommodate their needs to access shops, parks, schools, work and transit. The project will result in the design and implementation of quick build pedestrian improvements that will offer community members an opportunity to experience the enhancements first-hand and provide feedback to City staff to ensure the long-term improvements meet the community’s needs and vision. This project is a part of Santa Monica’s commitment to promote sustainable transportation and make walking safe and convenient for all ages and abilities.
