Do you like the idea of
a new sidewalk? Why do you support or not support the sidewalk? Any other comments you would like to share about this subject? Yes
My husband and I walk around Lindbergh Park at night,
and a new sidewalk would make us feel much, much safer! Seriously, this is so important to put a sidewalk in there! Especially for walking at night, when the current places to walk in that area are all unsafe in one way or another.
Yes
New sidewalk will make it safer for people walking around the outside of the park
Yes
Walking around the park only has uneven grass and in the street options. Not friendly to seniors and others with limited mobility that need good outdoor walking areas. None Yes
safer for walking, easier for cars and bicyclists to get through
Yes
I walk on the street around the park almost everyday.
Walking around parked cars and avoiding school and other traffic.
There need to be more no pet signs. The park is full of people with dogs. The sprinkle system layout needs to be changed, the control boxes for the sprinkler system are badly located so they impact on the use of the park for sports.
Yes
People already walk their dog on that part of the park. As there is no sidewalk, they have turned the whole south
side of the park into a dog park, which just does not work.
A sidewalk would at least establish a path to keep it
seperate from all of the youth sports using the rest of the field
Exercisers take laps around the park and often walk/run in the street around this section. A sidewalk would be safer for these people to use.
Yes
We walk around the park almost every evening. This
sidewalk would make walking much safer and more
pleasant.
Yes Wheelchair Accessibility
Safety for children, and accessibility for the disabled community. I frequent that park a lot during Soccer and Sofball Season (practices and games) and have son who uses a wheelchair and there is only one area where he can easily access the fields. Loading and Unloading around the park is difficult.

Yes
No sidewalk frankly equates to discrimination against
wheelchair users.
Perhaps a decomposed granite jogging loop/path would be a nice compromise for people who are against wheelchair users in parks.
Yes
It's a heavily used corridor by pedestrians. Also, I would like to recommend a new sidewalk in front of the
residences on Rhoda Way just east of the park and across the street. These sidewalks are also used heavily by
various pedestrians and students walking to and from
school. The sidewalk is lifted significantly by tree roots in many places.
A slightly different aspect of the park improvements: The plans for the new walkway to the picnic structure include a curb on either side.
People often run perpendicular to this walkway to and from Rhoda Way within the park and I am concerned about the curb being a tripping hazard. I live directly across the street from the walkway, I am retired and have eyes on the park for a good portion of the day.
Yes Pedestrian safety
More sidewalks is always a great idea. It's one of the reasons we love living in Culver City vs. Los Angeles.
Yes
It would allow pedestrians in area to walk around the park without crossing streets. The sidewalks are also uneven Yes
Makes the park safer, esp for children, dogs, the elderly, and those in wheelchairs. That is the only block in the entire Lindberg Park area lacking a full sidewalk, yet it is the one location that REQUIRES one IMHO
Yes
with hope that future repairs result in wider sidewalks around the park. Wider sidewalks encourage greater Maintain slo streets around the park.
Yes
I think it would increase safety for me those who walk
around the park. The sidewalks in fron of the houses have many areas that are damaged from tree roots. It may also improve safety for those trying to avoid walkers as they cross driveways
Yes
Sidewalks are so important — everyone uses them, the
most basic infrastructure. Tellefson should be next, please! Bentley needs sidewalks. Thanks! Yes Sloped edges have always been a problem
Surface should be a walkway made of decomposed garnet. Injuries may be less significant

Yes
Sidewalk will give visitors and neighbors more stable-
walking opportunities, e.g., walking on an even surface rather than uneven, muddy grass. Also, it appears that this addition will complete a full, sidewalk loop around the park.
Yes
I would love to walk with my kids alongside the park, but instead we have to walk across the street. It would be nice to be able to walk a stroller up into the park.
Can we include better street lighting as part of this effort? The park area is so dark at night, it would be nice to have better lighting. Also, when will the playground itself get renovated? There's a lot of splintered wood, old outdated equipment, and equipment that has gone missing. It feels like Lindberg park got missed when all the other culver parks got updated.
Yes
I walk my dog around the park quite often and it would be nice to be able to use a sidewalk all the way around. It's also nice to have a sidewalk to get from one field to the other without needing to step on wet grass.
Yes
The park needs a sidewalk around the entire
circumference
Yes
Right now you have to cross the street to stay on the
sidewalk from several of the entries into the park - the sidewalk simply stops. But the green space at the edge of the park isn't utilized, so seems like it would make sense to have a sidewalk there.
The sidewalk on the opposite side of the street on Ocean is frequently subject to intrusion by roots and needing repair; an alternate sidewalk would help that also.
Yes Protect children when using the park All sidewalks in Linberg Park area require repair as a matter of urgency Yes
I prefer having a safe level ground to walk the perimeter of the park that isn't on the street.
Yes
It makes it more compatible for handicap individuals. Yes I support it.
Yes
So moms and dads and nannies can push strollers in a
circle and get that baby to sleep!

No
I am for any and all improvements to the public realm, but lights are desperately needed before a sidewalk is
installed.
Please add lights to the few parks we have in Culver City. There are precious few places to take your kids and not being able to use parks in the evening makes it really a struggle with kids.
No Keep as much grass space as possible for sports
No
Leave it alone and don’t disrupt the peace and quiet of Lindbergh park. It’s been the way it is since I grew up in the 60’s. It was fine then and it’s fine now. Use the money more wisely No
There is a sidewalk across the street that people can use.
Adding concrete to a green space reduces the green space which I think we need more of, not less of! It makes the grassy field seem less natural if you add cement to it. Also, adds possibility for injuries as kids play sports on it.
No
It would reduce the amount of grass and play area in the park.
I walk around Lindberg Park on a regular basis and utilize the sidewalks currently available on the street surrounding the park. I don’t feel there’s any need to build additional sidewalks within the park No Unnecessary and takes away the beauty of the park.
A better use of these funds would be to reallocate and beautify the new traffic patterns at the corners of ocean and rhoda/westwood.
No
Would prefer more green space amd that these funds be
allocated to fixing the temporary traffic patterns that were recently installed. The new traffic installation looks bad, is unsafe, and doesn’t allow street sweepers access. Fixing that issue would be a much better use of funds.
No
the large grass expanse from curb to curb is a feature, not a problem, of the park
No
There are other walking spaces and it takes away from the play space which is already limited.

No
No need to waste money. The park has been like this for years and is fine. If you want to do something at this park use the money to improve the fields condition. Make
perfectly flat with no hole and no patches of dirt. It is possible to do. Goto LMU soccer field and ask them how
they do it.
Please be more in tune with the needs of parks. This idea is clearly coming from an outsiders point fo view or an urban planning person that only looks a plans from their computer. The north area of the park has had a small hill for years and is engrained in the memories of decades of children. They will always remember this park for its unique characteristics. And again instead of wasting money on a sidewalk, improve the field quality. Contact LMU, they have an excellent method for keeping fields of grass looking nice year round No
Unnecessary and will create problems with tree roots
lifting sidewalk, creating a hazard to pedestrians and
costing fire dollars to repair. Also could threaten the trees that are there now.
Money might be better spent enforcing speeding laws in this park.
Currently traffic laws (especially stop signs) are ignored in this very populated are.
No
Please leave it as it is now. Please use the funds for
another project. None
No Waste of money, want to keep as much grass as possible No
It depends on the materials used to build the sidewalk. I checked "no" assuming the sidewalk would be made of
concrete because I prefer to maintain the existing green space rather than adding more concrete. Also, for those who use the large green area for sports and outdoor
games, a concrete sidewalk could cause injuries. However, I would say "yes" to a "trail" made of natural materials because it would be safe and could complement the green environment. Thank you for asking!
