GOOD NEWS!!! - THE INTERSECTION AT CALIFORNIA & OCEAN AVE.
Dear Wilmont Members and Friends,
See city notice below regarding the reopening of the car right-hand turn lane going south on Ocean and turning onto California Incline. After many discussions with city staff, Wilmont and NOMA have worked with the city to reestablish California Incline right-hand turn lane. We would like to thank everyone involved who wrote letters and made calls to reestablish this lane to make it safer for pedestrians, cyclists and car drivers. Specifically, we’d like to thank the people who joined us in meeting with Ed King and his team on June 9, 2021 at the Ocean Ave. and California Incline intersection to outline the issues: Nancy Coleman (NOMA Chair), Jan Datomi (Velo Club La Grange, President), Allissa Finerman (Wilmont Board Member and cyclist), Harry Leshner (Wilmont resident and road biker), Tom Hall and Robert Kaplan (Wilmont and Ocean Avenue residents), Katie Rollins (Velo Club Grange, member and civil engineer) and Rosemary Sostarich (Wilmont Board Member and Ocean Avenue resident). This is a good example of residents “working together for a better community”. Thanks for everyone’s successful efforts.

Big Blue Bus Info
MODE Dial-A Ride Service for Older Adults
Big Blue Bus has partnered with Lyft to provide on-demand services to replace the Dial-A-Ride program for older adults and people with disabilities living in Santa Monica. The new service is called MODE (Mobility On-Demand Every Day), and will improve curb-to-curb and door-through-door transportation. Lyft’s flexible transportation service network will allow MODE to meet the high demand for service during peak times when members are most interested in traveling while increasing efficiency when the demand for transportation decreases. To learn more about the program, visit bigbluebus.com/mode.
