The Big Jump is a three-year effort by People for Bikes to support 10 communities across the country to build a network of safe and comfortable places to ride. People for Bikes says, “The goal is also to validate a core concept: that if a city does all the right things, more people will ride and the community will be a better place to live, work, and play.” Culver City is already on its way to creating a culture where people
bike and walk. Our Safe Routes to School Program, one of the best in Los Angeles County, reaches every school in the Culver City Unified School District. We have individual projects planned that will make our streets safer and more inviting for biking and walking. What we are missing are the connections to make our existing bikeways into a safe and comfortable network for our residents, employees, and visitors. The Big Jump will help us take the work we are already doing to the next level by stepping up our design expertise, community engagement, and communications so that Culver City can become an even better place to live, work, and raise a family.
