Better Overland Open House & Walking Tour at Veterans Memorial Park

Next date: Tuesday, July 08, 2025 | 06:00 PM to 08:15 PM

As part of the Better Overland Project, City staff are seeking additional community feedback on the project's design, which includes new protected bike lanes, traffic calming, and new & improved sidewalks and pedestrian crossings.

While this event will provide an overview of the project as a whole, we'll specifically be focusing on upgrading the existing conventional bike lanes on Overland Avenue between Culver Boulevard and the Ballona Creek Bike Path to protected bike lanes.

Details

This event features two interactive activities where the public can learn more about the project:

• From 6 to 8:15 PM, join us for a Community Open House at Veterans Memorial Park to review the existing configuration of Overland Avenue between Culver Boulevard and the Ballona Creek and two conceptual design alternatives that include protected bike lanes.
• At 7 PM, City staff will host a 45-minute Walking Tour starting at the Veterans Memorial Park to Ballona Creek. This is a round-trip, 1.4 mile walk, so make sure to wear comfortable shoes! Those not wanting to join the Walking Tour are welcome to stay at Veterans Memorial Park, where additional staff will be present.

City staff will be present at both activities to answer questions and collect feedback.

Important Info:

• If you plan on attending the Walking Tour, please make sure to arrive before 7 PM.
• This is a rain or shine event! If rain is in the forecast, don't forget your umbrella.

About the Better Overland Project

The Better Overland Project is transforming Overland Avenue into a low-stress, high-comfort active transportation corridor. The City Council approved the conceptual plans for the project at their May 28, 2024, meeting.

The project creates a north-south backbone featuring over 2.5 miles of protected bike lanes, extending from Venice Boulevard southward to the Fox Hills Neighborhood, including the Culver City Transit Center. The project also include new and enhanced sidewalks, pedestrian crossings, sidewalk-facing streetlighting, and introduces new traffic signals at Overland Avenue’s intersections with Kelmore Avenue/Ranch Road and Sawtelle Boulevard. Together these improvements will transform Overland Avenue into a safe and welcoming active transportation corridor, linking our neighborhoods and making walking & biking practical, enjoyable ways to move the City.
