Pico Beautification Plans to Be Presented to Council
Plans for the beautification of Pico Boulevard within city borders will be presented to the City Council tonight.
The $4-million Pico Boulevard Streetscape Plan calls for improvements in sidewalk lighting and paving, additional trees, and installation of public art that will mark the entry into Santa Monica from Los Angeles.
The area scheduled for improvement stretches from Centinela Avenue on the east to Ocean Avenue on the west, said David Martin, senior planner for the city of Santa Monica.
Pending council approval of the plan, construction is scheduled to begin in November, Martin said.
The public may comment on the plan at tonight’s council meeting, or may send written comments to the city Planning Division.
The meeting begins at 7 p.m. in council chambers at City Hall, 1685 Main St.
