Presentation on Second Street Widening -- TONIGHT

By Eric Richardson
Published: Wednesday, July 26, 2006, at 08:56AM

This evening at DLANC's Planning & Land Use committee meeting City officials will be making presentations on the 2nd street widening that caused such a stir recently. At the same time they'll be giving an update on the new LAPD headquarters that have been just as hotly contested.

The meeting is at 6:00pm on the 10th floor of City Hall. The room number will be posted there in the lobby.

I'm back in Michigan to get married, but hopefully one of you will go and then drop me an email to tell me how it goes.

I planned to go. It may not be as a detailed report as yours would be, but VFAL will give it a shot.

With Eric off doing important things, I dropped over to the meeting. Here's the gist, without e's ever important interpretation of the rules. Under further review, the trees stand. From my post:

The approved recommendation for the widening of 2nd street was to not widen it. Even with the need for left-hand turns, it was surveyed and recommended that an extended left turn pocket (lane) be made for left turns from 2nd street onto Main Street, 2nd Street onto San Pedro, and if needed an optional short pocket from 2nd Street to Los Angeles Street that would only take out some metered parking. This would keep the 2nd street sidewalk as it is now.
