Santa Monica residents are invited to take part in a community walk audit along Washington Avenue on Saturday, November 21, from 10 a.m. to noon, to help identify safety concerns and potential improvements for people walking, biking and rolling.
The guided walk is the first step in planning a new neighborhood greenway along Washington Avenue. Participants will have an opportunity to point out areas of conflict and share feedback that will help inform the design.
Greenways are calm residential streets designed to slow vehicle speeds and discourage cut-through traffic. The proposed Washington Avenue improvements could build on existing traffic-calming features between 20th and 26th streets, including a roundabout, staggered crosswalks, speed bumps and pedestrian-level lighting. Potential additions include curb extensions and chicanes.
The route serves nearby destinations including Lincoln Middle School and Saint Monica Preparatory.
When: Saturday, November 21, 10 a.m. to noon
Where: Lincoln Middle School, 1501 California Ave., Santa Monica
Cost: Free
