Two of the more bike-friendly westside cities \u2013 Culver City and Santa Monica \u2013 have green mobility projects under construction.<\/p>\n

East End of Culver City Bus\/Bike Improvements <\/p>\n

Construction is underway on Move Culver City\u2019s Eastern Segment<\/a>. The project includes street resurfacing, and new bus lanes and bike lanes. See full plans<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Culver City is adding a new eastbound unprotected bike lane on Washington Boulevard. Westbound cyclists and transit riders will share a new bus\/bike lane. Shared bus-bike lanes are not great all-ages facilities, but here arguably represent an improvement over curb parking.<\/p>\n

The project is also adding about a fifth of a mile of new protected bike lanes on Adams Boulevard. This short stretch closes an existing bikeway gap, connecting from Washington to Los Angeles\u2019 Adams Boulevard bike lanes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Eastern Segment construction began in\u00a0March 2026, and is expected to continue through June.<\/p>\n

Santa Monica Colorado and Broadway Improvements<\/p>\n

Santa Monica is installing a new westbound curb-protected bike lane on Colorado Avenue. The 0.9-mile project, previewed by SBLA in February<\/a>, parallels the Metro E Line light rail tracks from the 17th\/SMC Station to the Downtown Santa Monica terminus station.<\/p>\n

As reported by SBLA sister site Santa Monica Next<\/a>, work is underway. New concrete curbs are completed near the west end of the project. <\/p>\n

Street markings show where additional curbs and green pavement will be installed soon.<\/p>\n

Just a block to the north, Santa Monica has construction well underway<\/a> for a much more extensive bike\/walk project: the Broadway Protected Bike Lane Project<\/a>, also called the Broadway Safety Project. That 1.6-mile project extends from 5th Street to 26th Street. Broadway already had continuous bike lanes \u2013 mostly unprotected with a few parking-protected blocks. The full length will be upgraded to parking-protected, including some concrete curb-protected areas.<\/p>\n

As of today, quite a bit of Broadway feels like a construction mess. Street resurfacing appears more or less done all the way to 26th; planned bike lanes, crosswalks, and parking are preliminarily marked. Construction is expected to continue through at least the end of April.<\/p>\n
