Community Meeting Held to Showcase MyFigueroa Corridor

A community meeting will be held Tuesday evening to discuss and showcase plans for the MyFigueroa Corridor project aimed at enhancing the pedestrian, bike and transit experience in Los Angeles.

Community members interested in hearing about the project or becoming involved can attend the meeting at the Andrew Norman Hall Orthopaedic Hospital at 5:30 pm.

Improvements planned for Figueroa Street, 11th Street, and Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. will be discussed.

The Figueroa Corridor Streetscape project launched in 2010 and is projected to be completed by December 2014.

MyFig, "seeks to transform the Figueroa Corridor into a complete, multimodal street that better serves the needs of pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit riders, while still accommodating drivers," according to the project's website.

The project was funded by a $20 million Proposition 1C grant under the custodianship of the Community Redevelopment Agency of Los Angeles. 

Tuesday's meeting will mark the third time community members have met to discuss the MyFigueroa Corridor project since it began in 2010.
