Santa Monica’s Safe Streets Project Wins APWA Transportation Award
The Southern California Chapter of the American Public Works Association (APWA) recently awarded the Safe Streets award for the 17th Street and Michigan Avenue project in Santa Monica — netting the project a B.E.S.T. Project of the Year award in the transportation category. As reported by the Santa Monica Mirror, the project, which spans 17th Street between Wilshire and Pico Boulevards includes a protected bikeway, pedestrian-scale lighting, upgraded ADA-compliant ramps and enhanced crosswalks. Michigan Avenue also received curb extensions and mini traffic circles to further improve traffic flow and safety.
