It’s not the biggest mobility story in Culver City, but the city recently finished construction on Farragut Avenue walkway improvements. The ~200 foot long walkway connects two residential streets about a half-mile south of downtown. It is also used by cyclists.

The Farragut Connector Replacement Project widened the existing basic walkway, adding landscaping, fences, lighting, and a water station.

Improvements include permeable pavement and water station for people and pets

Farragut construction got underway in April and was completed by October. An additional public art component will soon be installed on the north-facing wall.
