Work to Begin Soon on West Hollywood's La Brea Streetscape Project
Nearly 6,000 square feet of green space will be added to West Hollywood's three-block stretch of La Brea Avenue.
Work on a project to improve landscaping along West Hollywood's three-block stretch of La Brea Avenue will begin in June, Curbed L.A. reported.
The West Hollywood City Council unanimously approved plans for the $1.4-million project in March.
The city will use a $862,500 grant from the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority, plus $619,922 of Weho’s own money, to add 5,729 square feet of green space to La Brea Avenue that would include 40 new street trees and 21 blue, pedestrian-level street lights to match Santa Monica Boulevard.
Bike lanes are not included in the project, however, a set of proposed median islands have been designed to accommodate unprotected sharrows (share the road) bike lanes in the future.
