BIKE LANES AND TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES ARE COMING TO FOX HILLS IN THE NEAR FUTURE!!!
Much needed Bikeways and Traffic Calming measures for the Fox Hills area were presented to our community by Heba El-Guindy, Culver City Traffic Engineer on April 1st and April 15th. The following strategies will be implemented, with a targeted completion in the next several months:
- Protected Class IV bike lanes on Buckingham Parkway, and Class II bike lanes on Green Valley Circle and Bristol Parkway. Provision of the bike lanes will result in narrower car lanes, which have been shown to help reduce cars’ travel speeds. (Bike lanes already on Hannum will be extended down Hannum to Slauson as well).
- Design plan include speed humps or cushions on Cambridge Way, Windsor Way, Sumner Way, Kensington Way, Doverwood, and Canterbury Drive. Number/Locations of humps TBD
- Mini “roundabouts” at the intersections on Buckingham Parkway/Kensington Way and Buckingham Parkway/Windsor Way.
- Intersection narrowing devices/bulbouts on Canterbury Drive at Green Valley Circle and Hannum Avenue, and at the intersection Canterbury Drive/Sumner Way.
- Speed feedback signs facing traffic in both directions on Green Valley Circle (to the east of Sepulveda and north of Centinela) and on Bristol Parkway (to the north of Centinela and south of Slauson).
- Median installation at the crosswalk on Buckingham Parkway at Sumner Way.
- Due to community safety concerns expressed at the April 1st meeting, the middle turn lane on GVC between Buckingham and Bristol will remain.

PROGRESS REPORT ON REFURBISHING PROJECTS
- To complete the refurbishing of the benches at the Hannum/Buckingham Parkette, the 2 benches needing slab replacement will be done in the very near future as a joint project with FHNA and the city’s Park Department.
- After getting approval from the Parks Department, vegetation will be added around the FOX HILLS sign at Centinela/Bristol Parkway in the next few weeks. The sign was already painted by some of our great Fox Hills neighbors.
