When: June 12 from 6-7 p.m.

What: Caltrans will host a public virtual meeting to inform South Bay residents about a new pavement project on Western Avenue from San Pedro to Torrance. In addition, Caltrans invites residents to submit comments online in English or Spanish by visiting: bit.ly/western_ave
Why: Caltrans is planning to enhance accessibility and safety for pedestrians and cyclists by adding bike lanes and other pedestrian-friendly features along Western Avenue (State Route 213), from 25th Street to I-405. By adding and improving bicycle and pedestrian access on Western Avenue, community members will feel safer cycling or walking to destinations along the route. These features will help increase accessibility for non-vehicular travelers and will contribute to the growing multimodal network within the region.
Caltrans has given presentations on this project at meetings of the Rancho Palos Verdes City Council and Traffic Safety Committee over the past few years. Staff reports and meeting video links are available below.
