Event History

Over the last decade, the City has engaged in long-term planning for repurposing and redeveloping former industrial land around the Culver City Metro Expo Line Station. The City and the former Culver City Redevelopment Agency identified and assembled land for potential redevelopment sites, rezoned the land to accommodate transit-oriented development uses, and implemented a TOD District Streetscape Plan to improve walkability, biking and promote sustainable development. Public art will be a visible part of this project as a means by which artists respond to and propose alternate modes of organization within the built environment.
