Windward Ave Pedestrian Enhancement Survey

The Venice Neighborhood Council’s Parking, Transportation & Infrastructure Committee is exploring potential concepts for increasing the pedestrian areas on Windward Avenue, and is looking for your input! This survey seeks stakeholder opinions on the concepts. 

Windward Avenue and its hanging “VENICE” sign are famous.  Yet it remains visually dominated by its wide roadway and vehicular traffic.  For over 30 years there have been proposals to make the two blocks of Windward Avenue between Speedway and Windward Circle more pedestrian-friendly. The up-coming Olympics provide an incentive for finally doing something. This questionnaire will ask you to comment on two concepts for enhancing the pedestrianization of these two blocks.

There is no adopted plan at this time.  The graphics in the questionnaire are concepts only, subject to change and refinement.

For more information, contact the committee at [email protected].

Take the survey here.
