The City of Beverly Hills is installing a temporary demonstration project at N. Camden Drive and Brighton Way. The purpose of the project is to test elements that could make streets more pedestrian friendly. Funded by a grant from the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), the initiative is part of a Pedestrian and Bicycle Awareness and Education Campaign being disseminated on the City’s social media channels. The campaign is also front and center in a new grant-funded mobility website: www.beverlyhills.org/mobility.
Enhancements to the intersection include brightly painted curb extensions that shorten crossing distances and make pedestrians more visible, and planters that separate the space from moving traffic. Later in November, additional delineators to separate the space, a more visible diagonal crossing design, bike parking, and public seating will be installed to compliment the City’s OpenBH program and allow visitors to further support the nearby restaurants.
