Document Description
Project will focus on perimeter improvements to enhance pedestrian accessibility, safety, and connectivity. The proposed improvements to LA Union Station include removing the short-term parking northwest of the entrance to LAUS (approx. 60 spaces) to create a new civic plaza with an outdoor seating area; creating a new esplanade along Alameda Street (between Cesar E. Chavez Ave. and Arcadia) by narrowing the roadway and reallocating roadway area for the expanded pedestrian and bicyclist multiuse esplanade on the eastside and widened sidewalks on the west; reconfiguring the entrance from LAUS to the El Pueblo de LA State Historic Park by creating a new expanded, raised pedestrian crossing that leads into a new pedestrian plaza that includes a two-way off-street bicycle path through the expanded El Pueblo plaza near the west side of LA Street; providing pedestrian safety and additional connectivity through the partial closure of LA Street and closure of the northwestern LAUS driveway on Alameda Street; and repurposing the northernmost travel lane on Arcadia Street (adjacent to El Pueblo) between Alameda Street and Spring Street into a tour bus parking area designated as El Pueblo.
