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.

Please click here for proposed traffic mitigation measures,
and the next steps in this process.
