LA waterfront access project gets under way
A project to improve connectivity and public access to the waterfront has got under way at the Port of Los Angeles in California.
With ceremonial shovels in hand, 15th District Los Angeles City Council member Tim McOsker and officials from the port broke ground on the US$10.3 million Front Street Beautification Project on the LA waterfront.
“This multi-use pathway and surrounding landscaped area will open up an entirely new section of our LA Waterfront to pedestrian access,” said Los Angeles Harbor Commissioner Anthony Pirozzi.
“The beautification along Front Street will not only provide a new pathway to access our waterfront, but also fills in one of the last gaps of waterfront promenade that will connect Wilmington and San Pedro.
When the project completes next year it will provide safe spaces for walking, jogging and cycling as well as connecting the central and northwest San Pedro communities.
The project will create a new landscaped gateway area featuring a 22 foot wide multi-use pathway along with a five foot landscaped strip. There will also be new pedestrian lighting, additional landscaping and other site amenities.
The Front Street Beautification Project meets select environmental mitigation measures for both landscaping and beautification. Completion is expected in 2024.
