This morning, Los Angeles City Councilmember Kevin de León kicked off construction on downtown Los Angeles' long-anticipated Seventh Street improvements.
Today, construction work began on permanent Seventh Street streetscape improvements; find project details at LADOT or city Bureau of Engineering. The $18.7 million project extends one mile from San Pedro Street to Figueroa Street. The improvements include curb-protected bike lanes (including new bike lanes between Main and San Pedro in Skid Row), as well as pedestrian/cyclist-scale lighting, bus islands, and new trees.
Construction will begin at San Pedro Street and continue westward.
