I used to live close enough to avenue I, near Pacific Coast highway that I went there semi-regularly. Now, a lot of the area is extremely car centric. But the pandemic did something funny to avenue i. It has always been restaurant row, and the introduction of outdoor seating during the pandemic is actually turning it into a beautifully walkable pleasant area to be. The one problem is, Pacific Coast highway, the stinkiest noisiest, most dangerous road in that part of town cuts straight through it. So when the heck can we close that section just for a while so that people can see how much nicer it would be to walk there??
Add Abbott Kinney, 1st St. in Little Tokyo, Broadway through DTLA, The Sunset Strip, and Hollywood Blvd to that list as well. I’m sure there are others, but those are the most obvious streets to close down to car traffic in my mind.
It’s crazy how many people drive their car just from one end of Lincoln to the other and back when there are really good bus routes.
Lincoln needs signal prioritized Bus Rapid Transit.
