Document Description
The Mission Mile Sepulveda project (Project) would result in the transformation of Sepulveda Boulevard to enhance safety, provide a greener environment, and provide a more active community for all ages by incorporating innovative active transportation treatments along the corridor (specific improvements to each segment are described in further detail below). These treatments include reducing Sepulveda Boulevard to a 4-lane roadway from Rayen Street to Devonshire Street and from Devonshire Street to Chatsworth Street by widening the existing median and constructing a new 2-way Class IV bikeway and meandering pedestrian pathway within the median. The project also includes reducing Sepulveda Boulevard to a 4-lane roadway through the Sepulveda Boulevard Undercrossing from Chatworth Street to the SR-118 westbound ramp intersection and constructing new Class II buffered bicycle lanes. From the SR-118 westbound ramp intersection to Rinaldi Street the project would include the reduction of Sepulveda Boulevard to a 4-lane roadway and construction of new Class IV protected bicycle lanes.
The project consists of safety improvements and connections for pedestrians and bicyclists to neighborhood parks, cultural sites, and two major Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority planned transit projects. Project beneficiaries include all corridor users, enhancing safety, increasing use of active modes of transportation, enhancing community spaces, and increasing connectivity. Please see the Project description continuation in the narrative for more details.
On June 5, 2026, 95% Project design plans were issued for City review and 100% design plans are anticipated in October 2026. The City's request for funding approval from the California Transportation Commission is anticipated in December 2026.
