Aviation Boulevard Pedestrian and Bicycle Crossings Enhancements |
|
 The Beach Cities of Redondo Beach and Manhattan Beach are evaluating pedestrian and bicycle crossing enhancements on Aviation Boulevard between Manhattan Beach Boulevard and Artesia Boulevard. This Project is currently fully funded by regional Measure M dollars.
- Provide safer/low-stress crossing locations along Aviation Boulevard for residents and visitors of both cities who patronize local businesses and return to their residence or vehicle.
- Improve access to transit and bus stops on opposite sides of Aviation Boulevard.
- Encourage walking and bicycling trips between destinations in Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach such as Mira Costa High School and Anderson Park, contributing to reduced vehicular traffic and emissions, and increasing opportunities for physical activity.
- Introduce more gaps for vehicles to enter at other unsignalized intersections along Aviation Boulevard.
Share your thoughts online by completing the Aviation Boulevard Pedestrian and Bicycle Crossing Enhancements Survey.
