Sunset Triangle Plaza: Who would have guessed that a half-block of chartreuse polka-dots would get
so much attention?
An unprecedented collaboration between Streets for People, the L.A.
City Planning Commission and the L.A. County Department of Public Health
resulted in the city’s
first street-to-plaza conversion
in Silver Lake for only $25,000. The plaza itself needs some tweaks—the
color’s still controversial, neighbors complained about the loss of
parking, ugly plastic barricades showed up after a
car took out a few planters—but
the good news is that the process is documented, and any community can
adapt (and improve on) the model for their neighborhood. -
