Mar Vista Library To Host LADOT ‘People St’ Session

The Mar Vista Library will host a 90-minute information session given by the Los Angeles Department of Transportation regarding its new program, People St.

People St is a citywide program for installing plazas, parklets and bicycle corrals. Accordin to LADOT, “these below-the-curb projects transform underused roadway to create vibrant spaces in our neighborhoods.  People St is a competitive application program that provides eligible community organizations with a process to propose project locations and the information and tools to partner with the City to complete these projects.”

The Mar Vista Library event will take place on Feb. 24 at 6 p.m. at 12004 Venice Blvd.

“People St will foster a greater sense of community making streets more active and inviting places,” said LADOT General Manager Jon Kirk Mukri.

People St offers an application-based process for Community Partners to receive approval to install a Plaza, Parklet, or Bicycle Corral. Through peoplest.lacity.org, potential Community Partners can access an online-application portal and the materials required for the application process. Each year, LADOT opens an application window, a time during which Community Partners can submit an initial project proposal. See the dates below.

The first application window will be open March 3—April 30.
