The City of Santa Monica recently initiated a project that will look at urban design, landscaping, traffic and other improvements to 20th Street and Cloverfield Boulevard between the eastbound Santa Monica Freeway (I-10) and Pico Boulevard.  

 WHEN:      Thursday, January 11, 2007; 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. 

WHERE:      Patio Room, Virginia Avenue Park, 2200 Virginia Avenue, Santa Monica 

WHAT:       This second public workshop is designed for the City to hear comments from the community on alternatives developed as a result of the first community visioning meeting in November 2006.  At that meeting, residents voiced concerns about pedestrian safety and heavy traffic along both roadways.  They also expressed support for enhancing pedestrian lighting, signage, paving and other amenities, as well as creating a community identity. 

Preliminary concepts presented at this workshop will include plant material, hardscape and other site amenities.

 The next steps for this project will be preliminary and final engineering, and preparation of construction drawings. Project construction is slated to begin in late 2007.
