The 19 story low income tower at 6th and Pedro is the most interesting to me. I distinctly remember King Kill Em proposing high rise housing for the homeless and several people laughing at him. Looks like he got the last laugh!

How downtown Los Angeles made a stunning comeback

Nice to see DTLA getting publicity. Not so sure about this stat:

Quote:

Between 1999 and 2014, $19 million was invested in downtown Los Angeles, according to the Downtown LA Market Report.

They quoted the link correctly but it's an underwhelming stat.

^^^ i'm sure they meant 19 billion?

11th, once a free-flowing street is now in permanent gridlock much like Broadway from a street slimming.

Olive feels too wide now with Altier's construction equipment no longer taking up half of it

If a street can survive with two lanes for that long... we should've dropped it to two lanes.

Beautiful photos Hunter. Thank you for sharing.

Update: Construction fencing is finally going up around 1133 Hope St. We saw a groundbreaking ceremony from them several months ago. May finally be on its way

Hunter-- thank you for all of the great photos over the past couple of days. These photos are stunning.

I agree.. Grand and Olive did just fine as two lane streets.. They should extend the sidewalks, add protected bike lanes, kiosks and vendors

1133 is finally breaking ground? Awesome!

Doctorboffin · #**4473** Posted **Feb 16, 2017, 6:35 PM**

Changing the topic, does anyone think Park 101 will happen within the next decade or so? I know the Civic Center Redevelopment plans on it happening, but do you all think it will?

Personally all I can say is I want it to happen more then any other development besides maybe capping the 110.

Great news!
South Park is becoming a true expansion to DTLA's skyline right before our eyes.

Just speculation on my part, but I don't think so. It costs a lot of money to construct it over actual lanes of traffic and there are things that would be funded first, like teh streetcar.

At this point, I wouldn't discount anything in the new Los Angeles. We are in a time of great transformation; a city climate unlike anything in years past. Time will tell

Hell no. A 101 cap park is way more important and would be more beneficial to downtown than the streetcar.
