Transportation Corridors
The corridors are the city's circulatory system. They carry regional traffic, local trips, transit, deliveries, cyclists, and pedestrians — often on the same pavement, often in conflict. Most of Santa Monica's serious collisions and most of its congestion complaints trace back to them.

Challenges
- Regional through-traffic on local streets
- Pedestrian and cyclist safety at major intersections
- Transit reliability and first/last-mile connections
- Street changes made without clear before/after measurement
Opportunities
- Corridor-level safety improvements prioritized by collision data
- Signal timing and operations improvements before capital projects
- Better connections between the E Line, SMC, and job centers
- Publishing before/after data for every major street change
My perspective
I'd like every significant street change to come with a measurement plan and a public follow-up. If a change works, prove it and do more. If it doesn't, we should be willing to say so.
