The city of West Hollywood recently added bright green paint (#freshkermit) to its nearly completed new ped/bike crossing on San Vicente Boulevard at Rosewood Avenue. City safety improvement construction started in February and is expected to be completed this summer.

The city is adding a new ped/bike signal at Rosewood, where it is currently precarious to cross San Vicente.

WeHo recently added bright green pavement marking bicycle areas

New bike/ped passages were added through an existing median island

The project also added high-visibility crosswalks, and some dashed green pavement markings at a conflict zone in the existing San Vicente bike lanes.

The city has already calmed traffic on Rosewood by adding traffic circles, so this new project smartly extends that street’s walkability/bikeability. The WeHo Rosewood project is also aligned to connect with nascent similar efforts to calm Rosewood through L.A.’s mid-city neighborhoods.

This four-block stretch of Rosewood Avenue has three traffic circles; two are small (including this one at Huntley Drive)
