If built, new protected bike lanes in Culver City, California would connect train riders to walkable downtown commercial areas.
A new plan for protected bike lanes in Culver City would eliminate a center turn lane in favor of two protected bike lanes that would run to and from Metro Expo Line stops in the city. "Culver City is proposing to make it easier to reach its commercial districts from its Expo Line stop by building protected bike lanes, part of an ongoing effort to connect the city," Meghan McCarty reports for KPCC Radio. "The proposal comes amid other major changes planned around the train station that would make the area more bike and transit-oriented. The park-and-ride lot has been closed to make way for a mixed-use development scheduled to have parking for cars and space for up to 200 bikes," McCarty writes.
The article includes a plan view of the route of the proposed protected bike lanes, as well as a cross section of the proposed street reconfiguration.
