Figuero Corridor
Los Angeles is considered to be an Alpha
City in the world. And such a city should have a sustainable pedestrian-friendly
system. The Figueroa Corridor Streetscape project tries to fulfil that
initiative.
Staring from the 7th street in Downtown Los
Angeles and ending at Exposition Park at USC, this project project began in
2017 and was completed by the end of 2018. “According to Curbed LA, the
makeover will include a protected bike lane, bike signals, a dedicated lane for
express buses, bus platforms, and wider sidewalks designed for sitting and
strolling. A similar makeover will add protected bike paths and other safety
improvements to Main and Spring streets” (Curbed). It would also have better
signalization and signage, high-visibility crosswalks and transit platforms. It
is expected to cost $80 million.
