Hollywood Boulevard Redesign Will Be Previewed Feb. 1

HOLLYWOOD, CA — Officials will unveil new details about a planned redesign of Hollywood Boulevard at a virtual community meeting planned for Feb. 1

The Hollywood Boulevard Safety and Mobility Project targets a two-mile stretch of the boulevard between Hillhurst Avenue in Los Feliz/East Hollywood and Gower Street, a few blocks east from Hollywood and Vine.

The stretch is one of the busiest commercial corridors in the city. Between 2010 and 2019 some 56 people died or were severely injured along the stretch, according to Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martínez's office.

City officials will be sharing details about a new street design concept that aims to:

• Slow down excessive speeding
• Reduce pedestrian exposure to traffic
• Allow for safer turns
• Create dedicated space for people on bikes and scooters

The meeting comes after officials last year sought community input about the redesign.

The meeting will be held via Zoom Feb. 1 at 6 p.m.
