WHAT: | Expert panel discussion with robust Q&A to explore how can the neighborhoods that surround both the Fairfax and La Brea subway stations preserve their history while creating new directions for a robust future. Successful Transit-Oriented Districts are characterized by a mix of uses (residential, retail and commercial), designs that encourage pedestrian activity, and vibrant multi-faceted economies. How have such districts produced benefits for local residents, merchants, property owners and others? What have been some of the unanticipated consequences? Of most importance, how can communities work collaboratively with the private sector and local governments to encourage the types of development that makes surrounding neighborhoods even more desirable as places to live, work and visit? Participants include: Brian Cornelius, Vice President of Development, Caruso Affiliated Jeff Jacobberger, Chair, Mid City West Community Council Stephen Kramer, Chair, Miracle Mile Chamber of Commerce Neal I. Payton, AIA, Principal, Torti Gallas and Partners, Inc.
