5.3 Slow Speed Network As shown in Map 5-2, Figure 5-2 and 5-3, the proposed Slow Speed Network in Southwest Carson consists of a two- way Class IV Slow Speed/Cycle Track on the north side of Sepulveda Boulevard, Class II Slow Speed Lanes along Dolores Street north of Sepulveda Boulevard providing connectivity to the rest of the City (36), and a network of Class III Slow Speed Routes on local streets serving residential neighborhoods. If possible, a Class I Slow Speed Path can be created along the Burlington Northern & Santa Fe (BNSF) right-of-way south of Sepulveda Boulevard. A connection can be made to this path from the end of Dolores Street through new development at Sepulveda Boulevard and Main Street.
No bicycle/slow speed facilities are planned on Avalon Boulevard, Sepulveda Boulevard west of Main Street, or Figueroa Street. Facilities on these segments may have merit, but would have more of a regional or Citywide mobility function rather than connecting directly to neighborhood nodes. In the case of Avalon Boulevard, bicycle facilities should only be implemented if they can connect to key destinations north of this Neighborhood Village including Downtown Carson and SouthBay Pavilion. Pedestrian improvements, however, are important Img 36. Existing Dolores Street Streetscape between Avalon Village and the south city limit.

A shared mobility program would increase the number of on-street rolling mode users in the area, including novice riders. Therefore, it is best that slow speed network Existing Proposed improvements be installed before or concurrently with the rollout of shared mobility programs.
The increase in riders may be greatest along Carson Street itself, which is an existing Class III Slow-Speed Route but has a high level of traffi c stress for novice riders. While 213th and 220th Streets provide parallel alternatives, they are located at some distance from Carson Street. Therefore on-street rolling modes should be permitted along the sidewalk in this area, provided that they yield to pedestrians. More about the code amendments required can be found in Section 4.9 (Supportive Programs).
Six potential locations for mobility hubs are outlined. These mobility hubs would include some or all of the following: enhanced bus stops, shared mobility stations or designated parking areas, carshare, secure bicycle parking, Figure 6-2. Typical Class III Street Cross Section Example: 220th Street - Main Street to Avalon Boulevard pick up/drop off zones, bicycle hubs and daily service uses.
