This guide is provided as an introduction to assist community
leaders, businesses and neighborhood community groups in the formulation
and implementation to Streetscape projects. The City of L.A. conducted
a study in 1992 to determine how to improve the quality of life for neighborhoods.
Community Streetscape Improvements have proven to have the most positive
aesthetic impact on a neighborhood and were strongly endorsed throughout
the city. Streetscape projects are aimed at improving air quality, street
appearance, and traffic circulation; promoting and enhancing pedestrian
activities; beautifying the city landscape, including sidewalk and crosswalk
enhancement, street tree planting, pedestrian lighting and traffic island
landscaping. |
