Culver Boulevard Median bicycle path

The Culver Boulevard Median bicycle path is a stretch of Class 1 bicycle path that runs along Culver Boulevard, beginning to the northeast of Huron Avenue in Culver City, passing under the San Diego Freeway, and ending at Braddock Drive in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Del Rey. A parallel pedestrian path runs alongside the bike path for most of its length, and benches and open grassy spaces line both paths. It is 2.1 miles (3.4 km) in length,^[1] and is wheelchair accessible.^[2]

At McConnell Avenue, cyclists can access the Ballona Creek bicycle path.

History

Conditions

The path is flat along its entire length. Although small residential streets do not cross the median, at major streets cyclists must yield to vehicle traffic and cross when appropriate using pedestrian crosswalks.

The section from Sepulveda Boulevard east to Berryman was recently repaved and re-striped. However, access to the section from Sawtelle to Berryman was also recently blocked by a "Jersey Barrier" and there are signs up stating that the path is now closed. This is due to CalTrans locating the bicycle path through a billboard and the liability issues that raises.

The cities of Los Angeles and Culver City are each responsible for the maintenance of the portions of the path that fall within their respective city limits.
