Summary: This plan is an update to the previous
Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan adopted in
2010. It is based on Culver City’s commitment to
the health, safety, and well-being of its residents,
highlighting the social, environmental, and
community health impacts associated with an
improved active transportation network. The
plan is structured around five goals including
accessibility, connectivity, health, safety, affordability,
equity, and collaboration.
The main actions proposed focus on physical
network recommendations as well as policy
and “non-infrastructural” or people-based
recommendations. A “Bicycle and Pedestrian
Facility Design Guidelines” document provided as
an appendix to the plan provides best practices
and design standards for bike and pedestrian
accessibility and safety. The document provides
a review of national and state references for
these best practices. Another relevant appendix
includes planning-level analysis recommendations
for three identified “Opportunity Corridors” within
Culver City.
Summary: These draft design guidelines classify
the streets in Culver City and provide a cohesive
set of required, recommended, and optional
design elements for each street category, ranging
from primary arterial to local streets. Current and
priority future active transportation corridors are
also identified. These guidelines are not meant as a
substitute for qualified designers and engineering
services for each project. Specific design elements
include wayfinding, curb extensions, street trees,
public art, and site furnishings such as bike racks.
These guidelines reference the Urban Forest Master
Plan for street tree planting recommendations
and emphasize the importance of public art in
creating interesting transportation routes for
pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers alike.
