THE TRANSIT CORRIDORS CABINET IS REORIENTING THE CITY AROUND PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, REPAIRING THE URBAN FABRIC, AND PRESERVING SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS:
If LA’s freeway system divided communities with wide roads and fast-moving traffic, the mayor and the Transit Corridors Cabinet intend to knit them back together again. The city's new 6th Street Bridge, for example, will cross the 5 freeway and the LA River to reunite downtown LA with the East Side, and can be traveled by transit, bicycle, car, or on foot — providing neighbors with the best Stairmaster in the city (check out the multiple staircases on the bridge supports!) and greening the river with paths and parks. The mayor created the Transit Corridors Cabinet partnership to facilitate projects like this by improving communication and cooperation among eight key city departments that have authority over planning, policy, design and infrastructure investment around LA's expanding transit system. The goal is to help ensure high transit ridership by providing people with more transportation and housing choices, by making it easier and more pleasant to walk or bike to stations, by ensuring there is housing for people of all incomes, and by enlivening local business districts — and in the meantime preserving nearby single-family neighborhoods.
Join us at Union Station's swell Fred Harvey room for food (by Homegirl and the Nickel Diner), drinks, live music (by Buyepongo and the Doozy), and just a very few speeches, on Wednesday, June 12, from 5-8 p.m. Register here or call 310-310-2390 x 105 and speak to Marisa Garcia for more information.
