LA Waterfront Trolley
The PBID purchased two used trolleys in December 2010. These propane powered vehicles provide free transportation services throughout the main corridor of the District.
Decorative Street Lighting
The Tivoli-style LED lights – featuring hanging retro globes – were chosen to blend with the vintage lamp posts already in the downtown. The strands form a canopy of white light covering 5th, 6th and 7th Streets between Pacific Avenue on the west and Harbor Boulevard on the east. Strands are also located on Mesa, Centre & Palos Verdes Streets.
Landscaping
The PBID trims all city trees within the District annually to keep businesses well exposed and trees healthy.
Streetscape Furniture
PBID and the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) are working individually on complementary streetscape projects for the downtown areas.
Old concrete benches, planters and trash receptacles have been removed from 6th, 7th, Center and Mesa Streets. CRA has installed several new iron pieces that match the color of the newly installed street light poles.
