To develop a plan aiming for sustainable, transit and mobility improvements around the rapidly changing Expo Line Station area, the city of Culver City is collecting suggestions from multiple stakeholders about the Transit Oriented Development (TOD) District. The City is asking that the community participate in TOD Visioning Study in order to take part.
According to a press release, “The City’s TOD planning efforts have already created a higher-density, transit-served neighborhood that is improving regional mobility and air quality. The TOD Visioning Study’s goal to understand how to evolve the City into a “Transit Oriented Community” where people continue to drive less and walk, bike, and take transit more. This innovative Transit Oriented Development framework could become a model for the larger Los Angeles region.”
Between now and August of this year, the Culver City TOD Visioning Study team is hosting a series of workshops and an interactive website (https://www.culvertodvision.org) which will help stakeholders collaborate. According to the release, the primary study area is defined as the area within the half-mile walk and 3-mile biking radiuses from the Culver City Expo Station.
There will be a workshop called “Design Charrette” on Thursday, May 25 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the Rotunda Room at the Veteran’s Memorial Building (4117 Overland Avenue). Then one called “Review of Preliminary Recommendations” on Thursday, June 15 from 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the Multipurpose Room of the Veteran’s Memorial Building. The final workshop, “Presentation of Final Recommendations,” takes place on Thursday, July 6 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in a location to be announced.
