What's the Key to Increasing Safety for Walking in Santa Monica?

The City of Santa Monica is inviting residents and visitors to share their ideas for making walking safe and enjoyable for everyone everywhere in the city via a virtual online town hall, which features questions and the city is handing out prizes to participants. 

Last week’s Featured Question of the Week raffle winner won a $5 gift card by answering the question “What pedestrian feature would most help Santa Monica commercially?”

The winner said that we should make improvements to Lincoln Boulevard south of Interstate 10, such as additional trees to make the streetscape more aesthetically pleasing and provide shade for pedestrians.

The virtual townhall features several topics related to walking in Santa Monica, from where people like to walk and where safety improvements are needed, to how they plan to get to future Expo stations. Community members can share their ideas, upload photos, add comments, and support ideas from other residents. Input received will be used to shape Santa Monica’s Pedestrian Action Plan to make sure residents and visitors can continue to walk the walk.
