Culver City Residents Demand Changes to Bike Lanes, Bus Routes, Transit Plans

Culver City unanimously selected Alternative B for the Better Overland Project in January 2026. The choice adds 2.5 miles of protected bike lanes and new pedestrian crossings along Overland Avenue from Venice Boulevard to the Fox Hills neighborhood.

Better Overland Project

Community members living along Overland Avenue have followed the selection of Alternative B because it directly affects daily travel between Venice Boulevard and the Fox Hills neighborhood. The protected lanes and crossings are intended to improve conditions for people walking and cycling in that corridor.

MOVE Project Eastern Segment

On May 22, 2026, Mayor Puza cut the ribbon for the MOVE Project's Eastern Segment. The segment extends dedicated bus and bike lanes 1,500 feet east to the Washington/Fairfax transit hub. It completes 4.5 miles of continuous biking from Downtown Culver City to West Adams. People who use the Washington/Fairfax area for transfers have noted the new dedicated space for buses and bikes.

Sepulveda Transit Corridor Support

The City Council voted earlier in 2026 to support Alternatives 4 and 5 for Metro's proposed Sepulveda Transit Corridor Project. The heavy rail subway line would connect the Westside to the San Fernando Valley with approximately 20-minute travel times. Residents who travel between these areas have watched the council's position on the route alternatives.

The Culver Boulevard Realignment and Urban Runoff and Stormwater Project widened Culver Blvd between Elenda St and Sepulveda Blvd to improve traffic and pedestrian safety. That work finished in May 2022. The city continues to support multimodal infrastructure funded by its fee program, including improvements from the Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan that address vehicle, transit, pedestrian and bicycle travel modes.

These projects together change how people move through neighborhoods such as Downtown Culver City, the area near Washington/Fairfax and sections of Overland Avenue. Community members affected by the changes have followed each step because the infrastructure alters routes they use for commuting, errands and recreation. The city has drawn on its fee program to keep advancing elements of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan alongside the larger initiatives.

Next steps include continued design work on the selected Overland alignment and coordination with Metro on the Sepulveda alternatives. Residents can review project updates on the city's official website and attend upcoming council meetings where further details are scheduled for discussion.
