Congratulations to People St! Three plazas and four parklets supported through the LADOT’s program will find new homes in communities parched for the space in an effort to strengthen communities, build business, and improve health. We’ve seen how the first four pilot parklets in Highland Park, El Sereno and Downtown have provided pedestrian space for these communities. This time the lucky winners are North Hollywood, Pacoima, Palms, Pacific Palisades, Downtown, and Leimert Park.

These projects can have very profound effects on communities because they offer a special destination for community members and businesses to congregate. If we can gain more support for these projects then we can ensure that every community has public space to visit! Read more and check out the proposals at Curbed LA, and if your neighborhood didn’t get picked, don’t worry, there’s another application window opening on October 1.
