People St. Application Window Opens

LADOT’s award winning People St program will has opened its second application cycle and is accepting proposals for Plazas, Parklets, and Bicycle Corrals from potential partners. Community Partners will have 45 calendar days or until December 15th to submit their applications for all People St projects. People St is a program of the City of Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) in collaboration with the City of Los Angeles Departments of Public Works and City Planning, the Office of Mayor Eric Garcetti, and the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro).

People St projects can be completed in months, not years, and for thousands of dollars instead of hundreds of thousands. The projects are permitted for a year with the option to renew—it is hoped that community support will be so strong that residents will work with the city and local elected officials to make them permanent or seek future capital-intensive, corridor-level urban design improvements. By physically and contextually demonstrating the benefits of capturing street space for public space, these projects can, in turn, attract, expedite and foster future investment in infrastructure that better provides for people walking, bicycling, and accessing transit.
