MOVE Culver City
The MOVE Culver City pilot project in downtown Culver City has been the "talk of the town" since the pilot project begain.
The City Council on April 24 voted on the future of the project. The decisions were based on public input, survey data, Culver City staff recommendations, and the pilot project data points.
Council further approved changes in the pilot program at the September 11th meeting.
Mayor Albert Vera and Councilmembers Dan O'Brien and Goran Eriksson voted to return two lanes of car traffic in the downtown area and wherever possible on Washington, and turn the dedicated bus and bike lanes into a Shared Bus Bike Lane (SBBL) similar to what is already implemented on Washington in the Arts District. In addition, O'Brien, Eriksson, and Vera voted to expand the SBBLS East to Fairfax. This will be another 2 year pilot project. They also directed staff to consider extending the SBBLS to Sepulveda.
Vice Mayor McMorrin and Councilmember Freddy Puza voted no on both. If you are interested in watching any portion of the meeting, here's the YouTube link.
Update: a group calling themselves Friends and Families for Move Culver City is suing the city over Move. You can read the lawsuit here.
