The Culver City Public Works Department will study on two projects that would provide a potential bridge and bicycle and pedestrian ramp to the Ballona Creek. City Council unanimously approved directing staff to move forward with the studies.
The potential new bicycle and pedestrian ramp and pathway connecting Ince Boulevard to Ballona Creek. For the public to reach Ince Boulevard, an easement across the private property located at 8680 Hayden Place would need to be created. The potential bicycle and pedestrian bridge over Ballona Creek would connect Jefferson Boulevard to Ince Boulevard. It would require public access through two private properties. The estimated total cost to build a bridge across Ballona Creek is about $6 million.
The cost to conduct such studies is estimated to be about $100,000 for the potential ramp and another $100,000 for the potential bridge. It would require the four-fifths approval of a budget amendment appropriating the funds from the General Fund Unassigned Balance. This budget amendment would need to be brought to the City Council at a future meeting.
The studies are expected to take approximately six months.
