The Beverly Hills Traffic and Parking Commission voted July 1 to approve the final draft streetscape plan and design standards for “Connect Beverly Hills: Meet Me on Wilshire and La Cienega,” a 160-page compilation of recommendations for how to make the busy area surrounding the future Metro station more vibrant, safe, sustainable, and welcoming. The city hopes to implement a narrowed down list of recommendations by the time the station opens in 2023.
July 1 marked the last of six meetings that the Traffic and Parking Commission (TPC) devoted to the draft plan, since it was designated as the Project Advisory Commission that would study the project intensely before recommending its passage to the Beverly Hills City Council. The Council is expected to vote on the measure at its July 27 study session.
