CHECK OUT THE PETITION HERE
The focus of the project is to take underused areas of the city and make them vibrant and accessible public space with People St, a program of the City of Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT).
The residents are aiming to make 43rd Place from Degnan to Leimert Boulevards a pedestrian only area. The 43rd Plaza is the home of the monthly art walk and a host to several creative spaces and events.
The community partners are excited and 100 percent supportive in expanding the area with new developments such as community art spaces, galleries, and a permanent installation that celebrates the area’s cultural and architectural/art Deco heritage while also reflecting their hopes for its future as a creative district according to Streetsblog LA.
