'Parklets’ and Foosball Coming to Spring Street
Quote:
DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES - A nearly one-acre park is under construction on Spring Street, but before it’s done, the Historic Core corridor may have two other new parks. Two really small parks, that is.
The City Council today approved a plan to move forward with building four so-called parklets — mini public seating areas that take over parking spaces —including two on the 600 block of South Spring Street.
The project is an outgrowth of the Downtown Los Angeles Neighborhood Council’s Complete Streets Working Group. Plans call for one parklet at 615 S. Spring St., in front of Golden Eagle Dry Cleaning and Syrup Desserts, that will include planters and bench seating.
The second parklet, at 639 S. Spring St. in front of L.A. Café, would hold a foosball table and two stationary bicycles in addition to seating. Both spaces will be built on top of wooden platforms that will extend from the sidewalk into the parking spaces. Work is slated to begin in September and be complete in time for the CicLAvia on Oct. 7, said DLANC board member Valerie Watson.
