What roadway improvements were made to Santa Monica Boulevard?
Specific improvements to the roadway included complete removal and replacement of the old roadbed (including removing the old Red Car tracks), curbs, gutters, and sidewalks, the re-paving of Santa Monica Boulevard with rubberized asphalt, new medians and crosswalks, widened sidewalks, bike lanes and a variety of underground utility work. The West Hollywood portion of the Holly Hills Storm Drain Project at San Vicente Boulevard and Santa Monica Boulevard was also a significant part of the overall Project. New street furniture such as bus benches, transit shelters, bike racks and trash cans will be installed within the next few years.
