People St Block Party & Award Celebration

Join APA Los Angeles and the South Park BID as we celebrate People St as a recipient of a 2016 National Planning Achievement Award, one of just six nationwide. To celebrate, we're throwing a summer block party with music, tacos, beverages, and mingling around the Hope Street Parklet between 11th and 12th Streets.

People St, a program of the City of Los Angeles' Department of Transportation, helps communities transform sections of Los Angeles' 7,500 miles of city streets into active, vibrant, and accessible public spaces.

People St facilitates partnerships between the community and the City of Los Angeles, uplifting grassroots initiatives and empowering community partners to build neighborhood support for plaza, parklets, and other public spaces. The program exemplifies what can be done when planners work together with talented interdisciplinary teams of designers and engineers as well as the community to create memorable places.

Please take the Silver Line to 11th and Flower. The street will be shut down to through traffic for the block party and private parking in the area can be expensive.
