At the Los Angeles 9th District neighborhood council site, known as canndunc.org, it appears that the area in which I live is due to see a major revamping in transportation and housing initiatives.
The initiative adds pedestrian and bicycle lanes, housing, mixed-use lots, and retail locations.
The initiative provides $24 million in funding and spans an area of 2.8 miles, according to urbanize.la.
A particularly exciting note on the project (for me) is the declaration of a mixed use hydroponic farm lot at the corner of 94th at Broadway - just several streets down from where I live now. It seems like the notions I had floating about in my mind about these developments had turned out to be true. It's great to see that these initiatives are coming through, in reality.
