Santa Monica Blvd Safety Study

Leave a reply

Community Outreach:

The City of Santa Monica is seeking feedback for the Santa Monica Blvd Safety Study. The Study seeks input from the community on their experience when traveling on or through Santa Monica Blvd, especially when it comes to traffic safety, speeding, and congestion. The final product will include design recommendations to improve safety on Santa Monica Blvd for people walking, rolling, driving, and taking transit.

Please share your input on the study to improve safety for all road users on this critical corridor in Santa Monica.
