DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES — Back in May I told you that City Council had approved a lighting district for 7th street in the Historic Core. Soon after the prep work had taken place, leaving squares of fresh asphault with orange cones sticking out.

Now the actual lights are coming. Yesterday I snapped this shot of a freshly installed pedestrian light on 7th just before Maple. The crew was just out of frame to the west installing another light.

I haven't seen the light these things put out, but I like the look of the fixtures and think they'll be a great addition to 7th street.
