Culver City Celebrates Completion of Robertson Bus/Bike Lane Project
Published on October 22, 2025
On Wednesday, the City of Culver City celebrated the completion of the Robertson Bus/Bike Lane Project, a key infrastructure improvement designed to enhance bicycle, pedestrian, and transit access around the Culver City E Line Station.
Funded by the Metro Active Transportation Program, the project delivers several major improvements along Robertson Boulevard between Washington Boulevard and Venice Boulevard, including:
- Protected bike lanes that improve cyclist safety and connectivity
- Five dedicated bus layover bays serving Culver CityBus, Big Blue Bus, and Metro Los Angeles
- A widened sidewalk on the east side of Robertson Boulevard to improve pedestrian comfort and accessibility
- Removal of a right-turn slip lane at Robertson and Washington Boulevards to reduce vehicle-pedestrian conflict points
- Installation of stormwater treatment basins to improve water quality
- Planting of new trees to enhance the streetscape and provide shade
“These are grant dollars at work, improving safety for people who like to bike and walk in between our Downtown and Art District, especially with accessing the Metro line at Ivy Station and Platform,” said Mayor Dan O’Brien. “This connectivity continues our commitment to providing safe transportation access for everyone.”
The Robertson Bus/Bike Lane Project underscores the City’s ongoing commitment to sustainable transportation and climate action, aligning with broader regional efforts to expand multimodal options for residents and commuters.
As part of that commitment, Culver City also continues to support Metro’s Sepulveda Transit Corridor Project, a proposed high-capacity rail line that would connect the Westside to the San Fernando Valley. Earlier this year, the City Council voted to support Alternatives 4 and 5, both heavy rail subway concepts that could provide travel times of approximately 20 minutes between the two regions.
If approved by Metro next year, the Sepulveda Transit Corridor Project could significantly reduce congestion along the 405 Freeway, expand regional mobility, and bring new economic opportunities to Culver City.
“These alternatives supported by the Culver City City Council offer the highest ridership and lowest transit times that could result in an economic boon for Culver City,” O’Brien said. “While it’s a long journey ahead, it’s important we this process begin now. We’re proud to once again be the first to support this transformative public transportation project.”
With the completion of the Robertson Bus/Bike Lane Project and continued support for transformative regional transit investments, Culver City reaffirms its vision for a connected, sustainable, and accessible future for all who live, work, and visit the community.
