The City of Los Angeles and Caltrans are studying how to improve the North Spring Street Bridge to better accommodate pedestrians, bicyclists and commuters. Every day, many of you walk, ride and drive across the bridge to get to and from work, school, recreational activities and home. We want to hear from you! An important decision is being made about the future design of the bridge. You are invited to attend a community meeting to learn more and view the newly developed design options.

The meetings will provide the communities in Los Angeles County an opportunity to learn more about the High-Speed Train program, and specifically, to share the results of the Preliminary Alternative Analysis (PAA) Report.
