The MOVE Culver City project will connect downtown Culver City with the E Line train, giving residents easier access to downtown Los Angeles and beach communities.
The long-awaited MOVE Culver City project broke ground last Monday, reports Steven Sharp, beginning "the permanent installation of new transit and active transportation infrastructure connecting Downtown Culver City with the E Line and the Arts District." The city will install bus and bike platforms, new transit and bike signals, and new striping in an effort to ease congestion, improve mobility, and create a better connection to the E Line train, which connects Culver City to Santa Monica in the west and downtown Los Angeles in the east.
The project is a result of a 2017 TOD Visioning Study and has several future phases planned. According to the project website, it "envisions a reimagining of our streets as public spaces and prioritizes moving people over cars in the design of the street." MOVE Culver City "involves the rapid design and construction of three mobility lanes (bus-bike lanes) on Culver and Washington Boulevard Downtown, Sepulveda Boulevard, and Jefferson Boulevard using the Quick-Build method."
The project website includes information about construction phases and schedules, an interactive map where stakeholders can mark "areas of concern," and videos of prior public meetings.
