LA Mayor Eric Garcetti announced in his State of the City address that Crenshaw Boulevard in South LA, Figueroa Street in downtown LA, Gaffey Street in San Pedro, Reseda Boulevard, Van Nuys Boulevard and Westwood Boulevard (in Reseda, Van Nuys and Westwood) would be 6 of the 15 streets that would be the first to benefit from his Great Streets program. He said this means that " . . . We'll saturate your street with services. We'll make your street accessible to pedestrians, wheelchairs, strollers and bicycles — not just cars. We'll create an environment where new neighborhood businesses can flourish. We'll pave the streets and make them green streets — clean and lush with plant life, local art, and people-focused plazas."
