Redesign along a 3.4-mile stretch from Crenshaw Boulevard to Figueroa Street would add crosswalk improvements, protected bicycle lanes and remove about 270 parking spaces.

Plans to redesign a stretch of Pico Boulevard with protected bike lanes are moving forward, with construction expected to begin later this year. The lanes are slated to open in spring 2027, just in time for the 2028 Summer Olympics.

The project would reconfigure about 3.4 miles of Pico between Crenshaw Boulevard and Figueroa Street, adding protected bike lanes, new crosswalks and other street improvements along a major east-west corridor through central Los Angeles.
