The City of Los Angeles has an opportunity to make improvements to 3rd Street from Main St to Alameda St. In coordination with scheduled street repaving, LADOT proposes to implement street safety improvements, including fresh paint, upgraded high-visibility crosswalks, and repurposing one travel lane to calm traffic and create space for upgraded and protected bike lanes in one direction.
3rd Street is designated as a Tier 1 Bicycle Enhanced Network (BEN) in the Mobility Plan 2035. This means that it’s on LADOT’s list of streets to prioritize for bicycle and mobility enhancement. In addition, as it intersects with Main St, a Vision Zero High Injury Network street, it is an LADOT priority to address safety and accessibility issues. Once implemented, this segment will close the bicycle network gap on 3rd Street from San Pedro Street to Main Street.
