Conservancy Tours Featured during COAST Open Streets Event

COAST Open Streets continues the celebration of the opening of the Expo line from Culver City to Santa Monica. Focusing on “mobility, sustainability and culture,” residents and visitors are encouraged to explore local food, music, architecture, culture, dance, and games on foot and bicycle.

In Ocean Park, free tours of the Preservation Resource Center at 2520 2nd Street will be offered from 9 am and 3 pm. Conservancy docents will also be leading free mini-tours of Downtown between 10 am and 2 pm, starting at Wilshire Boulevard and Ocean Avenue. We’ll have information tables at both locations to raise awareness about the Conservancy and historic preservation in Santa Monica.

A two-mile route along Ocean Avenue, Main Street and Colorado Avenue beginning at the Expo Station will be closed to motorized vehicles from Marine Street to Wilshire Boulevard. Pedestrian and bicycle access will be provided along Main Street from Marine to Colorado, Colorado from Ocean to 5th Street, and along Ocean from Colorado to Wilshire. Additional information for Open Streets can be found here.
