CONSTRUCTION ADVISORY
LA BREA AVENUE STREETSCAPE PROJECT
La Brea Avenue between Romaine Street and Fountain Avenue
The City of West Hollywood has contracted with STL Landscape, Inc., to construct the long awaited La
Brea Avenue Streetscape Project. The improvements will be constructed on La Brea Avenue within the
boundaries of City of West Hollywood, beginning from Romaine Street to Fountain Avenue.
The La Brea Avenue Streetscape project includes the construction of planted tree wells/parkways, street
trees, landscaped medians, and pedestrian street lighting along La Brea Avenue. The concept is to bring
the streetscape enhancements installed on Santa Monica Boulevard to the rest of La Brea Avenue.
Therefore the trees and blue pedestrian street lights that is seen on Santa Monica Blvd, will match what is
installed on La Brea Avenue. No work will be done at the West Hollywood Gateway Center’s frontage on
La Brea Avenue since that was done with the construction of the center.
As with any major improvement work, the construction will bring some level of discomfort to the
immediate properties along La Brea Avenue. There will be periodic lane closures on La Brea Ave
between the hours of 9:00 am to 4:00 pm as needed from Monday-Friday; however, at least one lane of
traffic will remain open in each direction at all times.
The City of West Hollywood has hired RBF Consulting to provide construction management/inspection for
the project and they will be sure that every effort will be made to allow access and safe passage while
minimizing the impact to the businesses. It is expected that all businesses can operate as per their
normal schedule, however it is advised to let your customers know that due to construction to plan for
traffic delays in the area. All noise and dust pollution will be monitored and controlled per all related
agency requirements.
