The City of Lomita is looking forward to introducing new wayfinding signage and traffic-calming elements along streets on the Local Travel Network (LTN) in a citywide effort to create safer, more comfortable ways for people of all ages and abilities to travel throughout the community. The LTN is designed to connect neighborhoods to parks, schools, downtown Lomita, and nearby destinations using a network of low-speed, inviting streets.
These upgrades will strengthen the Local Travel Network, a regional network of comfortable streets for shorter, slow-speed trips, and contribute to a broader system of inviting, easy-to-navigate streets designed for bikes, scooters, neighborhood electric vehicles and other low-speed mobility options.
