Santa Monica Boulevard Safety Study

Santa Monica

Summary

The council adopted a rebuilt safety plan for one of the city's most dangerous corridors — narrower lanes, extended bus lanes, pedestrian recall signals, and better crossings. Quick-build turn restrictions near McKinley Elementary are targeted before the next school year, and a state grant application rides on the June 22 deadline.
