The Bergamot Area First-Last Mile Active Mobility Circulation Improvements projects will connect local neighborhoods to transit facilities, bikeways, schools, parks, employment and recreation opportunities. The projects area is made up of three key corridors that will receive bicycle and pedestrian safety improvements as identified in the City’s Land Use and Circulation Element (LUCE), Bicycle Action Plan (BAP), Bergamot Area Plan, Pedestrian Action Plan and the Local Roadway Safety Plan.

The key corridors are:

  • Olympic Boulevard (north side only) from 26th Street to Stewart Street;
  • 26th Street from Olympic Boulevard to Broadway; and
  • Stewart Street from Colorado Avenue to Kansas Avenue; Colorado Avenue from Stewart Street to Yale Street; and Pennsylvania Avenue from Stewart Street to 26th Street.

The improvements are planned to be implemented in three phases beginning with an Olympic Boulevard sidewalk and finishing with Stewart Street and Pennsylvania Avenue bicycle and pedestrian improvements.

Re: Item 3B City Manager Report – Bike Action Plan and Vision Zero Update.

Dear Santa Monica Mayor, City Council and City Manager:

I support the City’s commitment to safer streets and more protected bike lanes. Please prioritize improving bike and pedestrian infrastructure and Vision Zero. The City must continue the overwhelming community supported commitment to prioritize and protect vulnerable road users, like people walking and biking, with more protected bike lanes and streets designed to be safer for everyone.

Please support and prioritize safer streets!
