The Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) revealed its final design for new bike lanes slated to be installed on Hollywood Boulevard as part of the city’s Access to Hollywood project.

As Steven Sharp explains in Urbanize Los Angeles, “The reconfiguration of Hollywood Boulevard, when completed, is expected to reduce speeding on the corridor, provide a center left turn lane, and create safer conditions for pedestrians and cyclists.”

A second phase of the Hollywood Boulevard Safety and Mobility Project will connect the new lanes to Sunset Boulevard and Fountain Avenue, a convoluted six-way intersection. “The extension also has the additional benefit of connecting with existing bike lanes on Sunset Boulevard, which will require removing automobile parking along the street between Hillhurst and Fountain.”

The city is also planning an extensive renovation of the ‘Walk of Fame’ segment of Hollywood Boulevard that will, according to the Los Angeles Bureau of Engineering, “more than double the amount of available space for pedestrians, alternative mobility, sidewalk dining, and community gathering.”
