L.A. Eyes on the Street: Motor Avenue’s New Parklets
This week, the Motor Avenue Improvement Association will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrating two great new parklets on Motor Avenue. The festivities will take place on Thursday August 11 at 1 p.m. at 3376 Motor Avenue in Palms. The parklets are part of the city of L.A. Department of Transportation (LADOT) innovative People St program, where communities can request plazas, parklets, and/or bike corrals.
There are two parklets a block apart. There is a smaller parklet on Motor north of National Boulevard, and a larger one just south of National, in front of the Motor Avenue Community Garden. Both parklets have taken on garden themes, with fresh herbs and vegetables growing in parklet planters.
