Keep the Jackson Maintenance Gate Closed
Dear Culver City and our Carlson Park neighbors welcome to the Creekside Neighborhood website. As residents of this community, we oppose the city’s plan to open the Jackson Gate due to safety concerns and issues about the lack of due process. Please help us be heard by supporting the Creekside Neighborhood petition. Let us work together to keep the maintenance gates closed to protect our community.
The City Council needs to give us an opportunity to sit with them, have a dialogue, and be heard. They need to do their research due diligence and present evidentiary facts.
It is important in life’s endeavors to understand that it is NOT enough to know how things do or might work, but also know how things DON’T WORK.
For these reasons, the vote on this issue needs to be postponed until there is due diligence, equal representation of arguments, and the due process residents have requested and deserve.
Sincerely,
CREEKSIDE NEIGHBORHOOD Residents

Decades ago, the Jackson Avenue gate was installed for maintenance use only. Due to safety, congestion, noise, and nuisance concerns, it was never intended for pedestrians and cyclists to have access to and from the bike path via this residential street.
Indeed, the city’s current General Plan states that all improvements to Ballona Creek must be designed to “maintain the privacy of adjacent properties” and provide “horizontal separation between those properties and the bike trail.” Now, the city wants to violate that requirement and eliminate the small separation that we currently have.
