The DTLA Wayfinding and Transit Amenities Project is a community-driven initiative led by the Downtown Los Angeles Neighborhood Council (DLANC) in partnership with StreetsLA and LANI (Los Angeles Neighborhood Initiative). 

‍ Archer Aviation has just announced a partnership with AEG (developers and operators of LA Live) to provide a vertical takeoff and landing site (Vertiport) for access by their eVTOL all electric aircraft.  And this is happening soon – not well out in the future.  The partnership plans to have its air taxi service up and running before L.A. hosts the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic games!

At first glance, this may seem like an issue happening outside of South Park. Historic Broadway lies just a couple of blocks outside our neighborhood. But for many South Park residents, Broadway is part of daily life.

The long-anticipated LA Metro D Line (formally known as the Purple Line) Phase 1 extension is now up and running!  Judging by the crowds using the new line on the May 8 opening day, the line is going to be a  popular way of accessing all the destinations off Wilshire Blvd. all the way from 7th Street Station to La Cienega and Beverly Hills.

Local and State leaders have recently enacted several initiatives that promise to make travel safer, cheaper, and cleaner for drivers, bikers, walkers, and transit riders.

On March 31 I attended a Webinar hosted by MoveLA that described new transportation projects currently in the works including: a Gondola from Union Station to Dodger Stadium, a people mover at LAX, and a downtown streetcar. All hope to be operational by the 2028 Olympics. Upcoming State Transit Legislation. These bills promise to make South Park safer, quieter, and less polluted.
