Venice Eyes 1982 Breakaway Bike Path From East Venice Ave
City officials push to finish a continuous sidewalk along East Venice Avenue to the well field by fall 1982. The Catholic Diocese conveyed key land, enabling extensions from Pinebrook to the well field and a 600 foot northward link toward Bay Indies. City will assess property owners 100 percent of costs, using $30,000 budgeted now and funds from future assessments to extend toward the church end.
