| Bicyclists at October's CicLAvia event in the LA Fashion District |
We are excited to report that our district will be receiving bike lanes on Spring Street! This project is in accordance with the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT)'s installation of Downtown's first bike lane, which will be marked in green. The lane will run down Spring Street from Cesar Chavez to 9th Street.
As of today, the project is underway; preliminary lines have been marked for the future lane, which will run between curbside parking and a buffer to separate cyclists from traffic.
Additionally, last week, the LA Fashion District BID staff met with Council District 9 and the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) last week to discuss the bike lane plans. We are happy to report that LADOT listened to our recommendation to maintain street parking spaces. Also, bike lane construction will be postponed until after the holiday shopping season.
