2 Replies

The Santa Monica City Council approved a Bike Share System using Social Bicycle “smart bikes” on November 11, 2014, and one year later, almost to the day, Breeze is scheduled to launch November 12th all 500 of its 8-speed bicycles at 75 stations citywide. Several stations in Venice are expected to follow soon thereafter.

Breeze will provide a new active transportation alternative for short hops around Santa Monica to local destinations, connecting residents and visitors to buses and soon the City’s three Expo Light Rail stations.

Michigan Avenue & 12th Street

You are invited to celebrate the opening of the Michigan Avenue landscape circles and the first phase of implementing the Michigan Avenue Neighborhood Greenway – MANGo, the areas first Neighborhood Greenway! Streets designed to support equity of all road users.

We join the Pico Neighborhood to celebrate the rich cultural tapestry of many threads, woven on Michigan Avenue, throughout Santa Monica’s History. Hear from residents, past and present as they share their experiences of everyday life in the neighborhood.

MANGo Opening Invitation
The Michigan Avenue Neighborhood Greenway is intended to create an inviting streetscape along Michigan Avenue and adjoining streets. This could be achieved through elements including roadway calming, increased landscaping, sidewalk widening, bike facilities, and enhanced crosswalks. The three-mile Greenway between the Bergamot Arts Center and the beach will provide a safe and comfortable place for neighbors of all ages to walk, bike, recreate, and interact with one another. Additionally, it will be a functional circulation link to connect residents and visitors with many significant community and regional destinations, including schools, parks, job centers, and soon to open Expo stations. The project will make it easier to get around Santa Monica on foot and by bicycle, and is intended to enhance the livability of the Pico Neighborhood and improve environmental quality.
