After several years of development and community outreach, the Beverly Hills City Council has adopted the Complete Streets Plan which balances the needs of all the city’s road users such as bicyclists, pedestrians, transit riders and motorists. The approved plan gives City Staff the ability to move forward on projects that implement various conceptual goals to prepare for emerging technologies, prioritize first/last mile improvements to the Metro Purple Line stations and increase grant funding eligibility.
One of the projects outlined in the Complete Streets Plan is Connect Beverly Hills: Meet me on Wilshire and La Cienega. Launched last year, this streetscape plan recommends new sidewalk designs and pedestrian amenities in preparation for the opening of the Metro (D Line) subway station slated to open in 2023. Next steps will include finalizing the conceptual design elements and implementation.
