The distance on Olympic Blvd., from 26th St. to Centinela (north leg) is 0.64 miles.

The distance on Olympic Blvd. from 26th St. to Bundy Avenue is one mile.

Below are business development projects that are vying to go in near or along Olympic Blvd. in the LMSD zone, between 26th St. and Centinela. Except for Draft Environmental Impact Report figures, the following are “guesstimates”:

1) Agensys, Inc. – Possibly 1,200 daily car trips.

2) Bergamot Transit Village Center — Possibly 15,000 daily car trips

3) New Roads School (aka Herb Alpert Educational Village) – Possibly 1,200 daily car trips.

4) Paseo Nebraska –  Possibly 5,000 daily car trips.

5) Roberts Business Center — Possibly 2,200 daily car trips

6) SMC Academy of Entertainment & Tech – 450 pkg spaces — Possibly 2,700 daily car trips

7) Village Trailer Park — Possibly 2,700 daily car trips

8) 2834 Colorado Creative Studio Project — 1,796 new daily car trips, according to the Draft EIR

This adds up to: 31,796 daily car trips.

As of 2006, Olympic Blvd. had: 33,880 daily car trips between between 26th & Centinela.

Now add the following:

9) Bundy Village & Medical Park – LMSD-adjacent, at Olympic & Centinela — 20,073 daily car trips, according to the Draft EIR.

The grand total is: 85,749 daily car trips.

That’s about the total number of residents we currently have in Santa Monica — it’s an astronomical amount of traffic – and impossible to integrate into our road capacity.

  1. The traffic is already horrific on Olympic Blvd. during the late afternoon rush home.

  2. Very curious; are you the same JODI SUMMERS from the Santa Monica Martial Arts Group?

  3. The rooftops at nine Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District campuses could soon be getting solar panels designed to generate two-thirds of the district’s electricity needs. Under the proposal, the district would provide space for the solar panels at nine campuses free of charge and would enter into a 25-year contract to purchase electricity from Regeneration. The company would agree to sell electricity to SMMUSD at $0.131 per kilowatt hour with an annual escalator of four percent. The proposal is expected to prevent 23,822 tons of greenhouse gases from being produced over the term of the deal.

    The solar panels would be installed at the following campuses: Grant Elementary, Franklin Elementary, McKinley Elementary, Muir/SMASH, Rogers Elementary, Roosevelt Elementary, Cabrillo Elementary. Pt. Dume Elementary and Webster Elementary.
