South L.A. Complete Streets Project Back on Track

A dormant Complete Streets project in the South Los Angeles neighborhood of Broadway-Manchester could be revived after the proposal received clearance from the California Natural Resources Agency and the City of Los Angeles. As Steven Sharp reports in Urbanize LA, the project is funded through the Southern California Association of Government's Active Transportation Program.

The project, which would apply to 2.8-mile segments of Broadway and Manchester Avenue, is slated to include a 4-mile separated cycle track, pedestrian improvements, landscaping, and park amenities. The two streets are identified in the city’s High Injury Network, defined as “the six percent of city streets which account for 70 percent of traffic-related deaths and injuries.”
