Few counting locations outside downtown/ university areas reach the threshold of ’urban intensity’ during the day Figueroa DNA: STATIONARY ACTIVITY Figueroa DNA: EXPOSITION PARK SOUTH

• Note: 6pm was the largest hour of activity in our entire survey

•AM: Totally empty except for a few joggers making laps in the large parking lot as if it were a running track

• Mid-day: Empty

• Late afternoon great spike in activities as the food trucks arrive to serve the stationary activities—large numbers of children playing, physical activities, and people sitting and standing

“In the future the public right-of-way should be considered a more valued resource where there has to be a fair allocation of space for walking, cycling, streetcars and motorized modes of transport. “ 3. Open and inviting building edges Figueroa Street at Staples/LA Live

“The existing hubs of activity need to open buildings up to the street to make this life visible. The street must create recreational spaces in the public right-of-way to invite all people to enjoy this life. “ Figueroa Street Design Alternatives: GOOD / Baseline

Outside urban intensity areas - at 18th Street looking South (FEB 2010)

Figueroa Street Design Alternatives: BETTER

Option ’Better’ provides a higher quality specification of materials to the streetscape improvements in locations where higher numbers of pedestrians use the street and where the improvements will create pleasant gateways

(FEB 2010) Figueroa Street Design Alternatives: BEST

Option ’Best’ creates high quality public space destinations in existing people-hubs. Generous new pedestrian areas invite local users as well as guests visiting event destinations to meet in a park-like environment.
