Street Closures Make Way For Outdoor Dining In Culver City

CULVER CITY, CA — Street closures are planned starting Tuesday in Culver City as the city creates more space for the weekly farmer's market and outdoor dining during the pandemic.

City council approved the temporary street closures on June 9. It's part of the city's economic recovery plan to help support local businesses and expand outdoor dining.

The approved street closures include westbound Culver Boulevard between Duquesne Avenue and Canfield Avenue, as well as Main Street between Culver Boulevard and the city limits south of Venice Boulevard.

"A dedicated, shared bus/bike lane will also be available along Culver Boulevard to promote mobility to and through the area," the city said in a news release. "Several businesses are expanding into the street to provide a safe and physically-distanced expanded outdoor dining and shopping experience."

Street closures started last week and are expected to be complete by Tuesday.

The weekly farmer's market will continue on Main Street and takes place every Tuesday—that's rain or shine—from 2 to 7 p.m.
