L.A. and Santa Monica Finalize Terms For Venice Bike-Share Stations

Yesterday, The Los Angeles City Council Transportation Committee approved terms for five Breeze bike-share stations to be located in the L.A. City neighborhood of Venice. Full details are available in the staff report [PDF] for council file 16-0176.

The Santa Monica City Council approved a similar agreement earlier this week. At that meeting, the Santa Monica City Council approved the five-station expansion into Venice. As part of that decision, the Santa Monica approved adding up to an additional 15 stations in the future. There are still a few more approvals necessary, including the full L.A. City Council and the Coastal Commission, but it appears that Breeze bike-share is on track for welcome near-Santa Monica expansion.

The five planned Venice locations are expected to be:

Venice Boulevard at Abbot Kinney Boulevard

California Avenue at Abbot Kinney Boulevard

Windward Plaza (where Windward Avenue ends at Venice Beach)

Ocean Front Walk at Rose Avenue

Rose Avenue at 5th Street

These locations may change somewhat as final approvals and permitting processes get underway.
