Culver Boulevard Realignment & Urban Stormwater Project

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
The project is a continuation of the widening of Culver Blvd and will resolve traffic issues and improve pedestrian safety along the stretch of Culver Blvd between Elenda St on the east and Sepulveda Blvd on the west. The Urban Runoff and Retention Project will retain and reuse captured urban run-off.

# data[].attributes.body
Presented to the community as example of new berm at Center St. where the elevation has been very low for a long time and not as nice as the rest of the park to the east.

# data[].attributes.body
What can be done to insure the berm is as high as possible, especially at Harter crossing and from Center to Sepulveda?

We believe the most impact will be achieved by raising the footpath bc it is closest to the roadway and may be easier to elevate.

Will the retaining walls at west end of bike path be built as planned?

How much undulation can be built into the final path to keep a natural aesthetic?

# data[].attributes.body
Did you get a chance to review the grade diagram?

How will the runoff from the rain work?  Where does it drain to? - sheet runoff to the south. some will enter cutouts in center divider and bio-swale and then exit to south curb gutters.

It would be courteous to residents to remove barriers ASAP when no longer neccesary.

Little Culver is heavily impacted by the construction and loss of parking. The area near Harter in little Culver that has many manholes is now done . Could the K-rail barriers be removed now please.

- see question regarding completion

# data[].attributes.body
Since the turnaround at the end of little Culver at Elenda is being reconfigured, what can be done to insure ppl don't park in the turnaround? - will follow up with traffic and ADA.

And can a wheelchair ramp be added to the curb as shown? - probably not bc requires a crosswalk.

# data[].attributes.body
Pavers don't seem to match concept designs, why is that? - pavers will require sealer  as a top coat.

Will there be safety striping and reflectors along the edge of the parking zone? - will ask traffic engineers to see if striping and reflector bulbs can be added. And will look to city tree budget to add trees to parkways.

# data[].attributes.body
On the divider between Eastbound and Westbound traffic, will there be any additional height, or plantings to decrease the traffic sound for us on the South side? - center divider will have trees as planned. also see response on safe parking zone.

# data[].attributes.headline
Heavy equipment is being parked under trees.

Charles Herbertson said at earlier meeting "If we are going to go to all this trouble and expense to save these trees than lets be sure we do that"

# data[].attributes.body
Will the parkways (strip between sidewalk and street) be required to have turf removed?

If so does this include all of the corridor from Elenda to Sepulveda? - send photos of westringia to Mate

Will turf removal be done by the city and or Ortiz Construction?

Are there resources the community can work with i.e. landscaping consultants or similar to help replace turf with drought tolerant plants and ground covering?

# data[].attributes.body
Is there a way to mitigate the harsh lighting that is coming from the new street lamps along big Culver?

Perhaps changing bulbs to a warmer color / reducing intensity? - current are 4k temp. Can we drop to 3k on Elenda?

Path lighting will be lower temp than streets = yay

Globe lamps have frosting and bollard lights have diffusers.

main streets require high levels of light to insure traffic safety. Mate will update with photo of new high intensity lighting.

If time allows, can you confirm parking at Elenda and Culver intersection: specifically will there be parking between Aleta and Culver on Elenda, both on East and West side of the road?
