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
