SUBJECT: Pedestrian Overcrossings on Coast Highway

Included as Stage ~ in my March 3, 1870 "Report `
and Recommendation on Signalization of Hazardous Inter-
sections" was the construction of certain pedestrian
overcrossings, including three over the Pacific Coast
Highway - at Montana Avenue, at Washington Avenue as a
continuation of the existing overcrossing over the
California Incline, and between Santa Monica Boulevard
and Broadway.
The City Council, at its March 2~k, 1970 meeting,
specifically approved certain elements of the above report
and generally approved, as a Master Plan, the remainder,
No specific mention was made of the recommendation for the
Coast Highway overcrossings.
The State Division of Highways has asked for an
expression relative to our interest in these overcrossings..
(See attached letter, which also: was attached to my March 3
Report).
It would be my recommendation that the City indi-
cate its concurrence in this proposal and its willingness
to participate to the extent of providing any required
right of way for supports; stairways, etc., at those
locations where the Gity owns the property.
It is recommended that the City Council be
requested to approve this proposal and authorize me to so
inform the Division of Highways.

Dear Mr. Kennedy:
The pui~ ose of this letter is,to inquire
whether the City of Santd: Monica is interested in
participating in the elimination of the present
pedestrian cross walks across pacific Ccast Highway
and replacing them vrith`pedestrian overerossin
structures between the palisades and the beach
tiTe envision the possibility of three additional
pedestrian overcrossings:
1. Vicinity of the west tunnel portal
2. Vicinity of California - Incline
3. A point opposite Mcntana Avenue
We believe-this proposal is izn keeping with the
improvement of Pacific Coast Highway by eliminating points of
conflict ar~d congestion and improving the safety of the high-
way.
Very truly years,
Ur ~ ~~~/F~~
