CURRENT NEWS
A fast-track process to
calm traffic at the north end of Lenawee is currently
in process (March 2011) because of a near miss incident. Information appears here.
Blair Hills is working with
Culver City to implement mitigation of cut-through traffic. The process
has been going on for a number of years, establishing the need for mitigation
and possible proposals.
We are currently debating those proposals and coming to a consensus, at which
point the city can take action.
