Culver Boulevard Median bicycle path

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Culver Boulevard Median bicycle path is a stretch of Class 1 bicycle path that runs along Culver Boulevard, beginning to the northeast of Huron Avenue in Culver City, passing under the San Diego Freeway, and ending at Braddock Drive in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Del Rey. A parallel pedestrian path runs alongside the bike path for most of its length, and benches and open grassy spaces line both paths. It is 2.1 miles in length,^[1] and is wheelchair accessible.^[2]

At McConnell Avenune, cyclists can access the Ballona Creek bicycle path.

The path is flat along its entire length. Although small residential streets do not cross the median, at major streets cyclists must yield to vehicle traffic and cross when appropriate using pedestrian crosswalks.

The cities of Los Angeles and Culver City are each responsible for the maintenance of the portions of the path that fall within their respective city limits.

In 2007, widening of the San Diego Freeway overpass at Culver Boulevard led to the temporary closure of the median to both bicycle and pedestrian traffic between Sepulveda Boulevard and Sawtelle Boulevard; it remains closed as of February 2008. The path from Huron to Sawtelle was destroyed to make room for the widening of Culver Boulevard. However, the path still continues on from Sawtelle.
