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?]]> 2021-08-18 01:43:47 UTC https://padlet.com/modman00/CulverMedianPark/wish/1683179444 Culver Blvd Road Grade modman00 https://padlet.com/modman00/CulverMedianPark/wish/1683181340 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.]]> 2021-08-18 01:44:34 UTC https://padlet.com/modman00/CulverMedianPark/wish/1683181340 Meeting schedule modman00 https://padlet.com/modman00/CulverMedianPark/wish/1686618572 Topics to discuss:

K-rail removed next week from Harter to Sepuvleda

Park landscaping? November along with crossings to big Culver

Stormwater collection may be open November or December depending on power from Edison. 4 pumps (2 for evacuation to ballona, 2 for irigation)

Is the project on budget?]]> 2021-08-19 19:35:57 UTC https://padlet.com/modman00/CulverMedianPark/wish/1686624252 Effect of Road Grade at Harter crossing modman00 https://padlet.com/modman00/CulverMedianPark/wish/1686640375 2021-08-19 19:49:12 UTC https://padlet.com/modman00/CulverMedianPark/wish/1686640375 Parkway Turf Removal modman00 https://padlet.com/modman00/CulverMedianPark/wish/1694221899 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?]]> 2021-08-24 18:42:04 UTC https://padlet.com/modman00/CulverMedianPark/wish/1694221899 Culver Blvd Center Divider modman00 https://padlet.com/modman00/CulverMedianPark/wish/1694399126 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.]]> 2021-08-24 20:50:50 UTC https://padlet.com/modman00/CulverMedianPark/wish/1694399126 Parking at Elenda and Culver intersection modman00 https://padlet.com/modman00/CulverMedianPark/wish/1694452465 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?]]> 2021-08-24 21:42:46 UTC https://padlet.com/modman00/CulverMedianPark/wish/1694452465 Elenda Landing modman00 https://padlet.com/modman00/CulverMedianPark/wish/1696395677 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.]]> 2021-08-25 16:30:04 UTC https://padlet.com/modman00/CulverMedianPark/wish/1696395677 Safe Parking Zone Pavers modman00 https://padlet.com/modman00/CulverMedianPark/wish/1696896320 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.]]> 2021-08-25 22:08:14 UTC https://padlet.com/modman00/CulverMedianPark/wish/1696896320 Heavy equipment is being parked under trees. astevelevinson https://padlet.com/modman00/CulverMedianPark/wish/1699139109 2021-08-26 19:25:14 UTC https://padlet.com/modman00/CulverMedianPark/wish/1699139109 It would be courteous to residents to remove barriers ASAP when no longer neccesary. astevelevinson https://padlet.com/modman00/CulverMedianPark/wish/1699146739 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]]> 2021-08-26 19:30:13 UTC https://padlet.com/modman00/CulverMedianPark/wish/1699146739 Street Lights and Glare modman00 https://padlet.com/modman00/CulverMedianPark/wish/1699201608 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.]]> 2021-08-26 20:08:46 UTC https://padlet.com/modman00/CulverMedianPark/wish/1699201608 Heavy Equipement continues under trees. astevelevinson https://padlet.com/modman00/CulverMedianPark/wish/1699239340 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"]]> 2021-08-26 20:40:05 UTC https://padlet.com/modman00/CulverMedianPark/wish/1699239340 Berm Concept Presentation modman00 https://padlet.com/modman00/CulverMedianPark/wish/1699644246 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.]]> 2021-08-27 01:21:15 UTC https://padlet.com/modman00/CulverMedianPark/wish/1699644246
