Topics for discussion at the meeting will include the proposed bicycle and pedestrian networks as well as the proposed project that will guide bicycle riders between east Culver City and downtown.

On July 1, 2008, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors awarded the City a "Policies for Livable Active Communities and Environments" (PLACE) Grant. The grant program is intended to promote active environments through policy changes (i.e. community design, land use, zoning, street standards, general plans, etc.) and accompanying physical projects (i.e. bike lanes, sidewalks, trails, traffic calming, green space, etc.) that are related to the policy change in order to improve the built environment of communities and promote healthy living.

The grant is for the City's first ever Citywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan (BPMP) and implementation of the BPMP through initiating grant funded programs, review and updating of City's related plans, codes, policies and standards, and the installation of physical bikeway improvements. The City has partnered with Alta Planning + Design and the Los Angeles County Bike Coalition. The development of the BPMP and related policy changes will involve participation by the community.

The grant programs "Initiative Coordinator" who leads the initiative efforts is:

John Rivera, Senior Management Analyst, Culver City Public Works Department: Email

Alta Planning + Design is primarily responsible for implementing the grant program under the supervision of the Initiative Coordinator. Alta would conduct the public outreach process and preparation of the BPMP and the updates process of related plans, codes, policies and standards.
