  • Ditch the L.A. Traffic in West Hollywood, the Tiny Town Best Explored on Foot
    Ditch the L.A. Traffic in West Hollywood, the Tiny Town Best Explored on Foot They say nobody walks in Los Angeles. But tiny West Hollywood is a city that commonly forges its own path – a walkable one lined with iconic rock ‘n roll and comedy clubs, trendy shops with a twist and tastes for any kind of appetite. Rated as California’s most walkable city by Walk Score (with a 91/100 score), West Hollywood’s 1.9 square miles offer the most entertaining way to hit your step goals for the day, with a bonus for style goals. Here are some of the best ways to pound the pavement and see West Hollywood’s top highlights: HOOF IT The average person takes roughly 2,000 steps per mile, meaning it’s about 2,700 steps from the Sunset Tower Hotel to The Abbey; 2,800 steps from the Mondrian L.A. to the Troubadour; 2,000 steps from the Andaz West Hollywood to Michelin-starred Sushi Ginza Onodera; and 1,300 steps from the Sunset Marquis Hotel to the Whisky a Go Go. No matter which stylish WeHo hotel is your home away from home, you can get anywhere on foot – achieve your daily activity goals while stopping for shopping, a cocktail or two (you’re not driving, after all), some world-class cuisine and a late-night dancing sesh. GET YOUR WORKOUT ON Bikes and Hikes LA takes advantage of the glorious weather for active sightseeing. Rated the No. 1 outdoor activity in Los Angeles by TripAdvisor, the West Hollywood-based company is the starting point for a variety of tours including their signature tour, “LA in a Day” which takes bikers across 32 miles of Los Angeles in six hours, from West Hollywood’s Sunset Strip to Santa Monica Pier, and the Venice Canals to homes of the rich and famous.

  • West Hollywood, California's Go-To-Guide to the City's Three
    West Hollywood, California’s go-to-guide to the City’s Three Districts The Sunset Strip After decades of notoriety, the Sunset Strip continues to blaze its own path as a world-famous cultural landmark, setting trends in music, hotels, dining and shopping. This most famous stretch of Sunset Boulevard begins and ends in West Hollywood, and like the city it calls home, it is constantly breaking new ground and reinventing itself. Though it’s often been portrayed in movies like Sunset Boulevard, Almost Famous and Rock of Ages, visitors say that nothing compares to seeing the Sunset Strip up close and in person. Bordered on the west by Beverly Hills and on the east by Hollywood, this iconic 1.5 mile stretch of Sunset Boulevard features an array of world-class hotels, nightclubs, restaurants, shops and spas. Through the years, the Sunset Strip has seen it all, starting with the seedy glitz of the 1920s, when Prohibition fueled the rise of nightclubs and speakeasies. Because West Hollywood was not yet an incorporated city, this strip of Sunset Boulevard was lightly policed, making the Strip the perfect playground for the rebellious denizens of early Hollywood. By the 1940s, swanky nightclubs like Ciro’s, Trocadero and Mocambo reigned supreme, attracting A-list celebrity clientele like Marilyn Monroe along with less savory characters like gangster Bugsy Siegel, who called the Strip his stomping grounds. In the 1960s, the Sunset Strip became the major gathering place for the counterculture movement in Los Angeles. Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison were fixtures of the Strip and the surrounding West Hollywood landscape.

  • ANALYSIS of EXISTING CONDITIONS a Subregional View Of
    ANALYSIS OF EXISTING CONDITIONS A subregional view of travel on the Westside has been drawn from interviews with elected officials, meetings with MTA and other agencies and analysis of existing data. The subregion considered in this analysis is shown in Figure 1. Because transportation does not respect political boundaries, the Westside Mobility Study area is roughly all of Los Angeles County west of La Brea Avenue, north of Los Angeles International Airport and south of Mulholland Drive. The Westside has many of the most important activity centers in all of Southern California; 16 of these are shown in Figure 2. The Westside Mobility Study has begun to define what might be done to meet those needs for improved linkages, specifying the most critical locations for major transit improvements and other multimodal improvements. Evaluation of Existing Transportation Conditions A goal of the Westside Mobility Study is to provide an accurate picture of the existing traffic and congestion levels on primary arterials and corridors in the Westside area. As there was a large amount of readily available, current data, no new supplementary traffic counts were conducted. Data was acquired from the following sources and ranges predominantly from 2000 to the present day: · Traffic data from the Cities of Beverly Hills, Culver City, Santa Monica and West Hollywood · Transit data from Culver City Bus, Big Blue Bus and MTA · Information from MTA’s Short Range Transportation Plan: Technical Document · Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) database of traffic counts · Previous Kaku Associates projects · Caltrans counts 10 WESTSIDE MOBILITY STUDY SSOCI TES A Corporation FIGURE 1 STUDY AREA Multi-purpose Activity Centers WESTSIDE MOBILITY STUDY SSOCI TES A Corporation FIGURE 2 MAJOR ACTIVITY CENTERS Area Characteristics - Employment, Population and Housing: The Westside area has at least 10% of the jobs in Los Angeles County and is home to over 6% of County residents.

  • Live on the Sunset Strip
    robert landau Excerpt: Live on the Sunset Strip The street that made music history Robert Landau’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Billboards of the Sunset Strip was published in October 2012 by Angel City Press. Downloaded from http://online.ucpress.edu/boom/article-pdf/2/4/79/381413/boom_2012_2_4_79.pdf by guest on 28 September 2021 The Sunset Strip is that 1.7-mile stretch of Sunset Boulevard that is now part of the city of West Hollywood, connecting Hollywood on the east (where funky Laurel Canyon descends to Sunset and meets Crescent Heights) with Beverly Hills to the west (where Doheny Road climbs to the posh mansions of 90210-land). There are actually many Sunset Strips—versions that live in real time and space, and versions that live in our collective fantasy. The actual landscape of the Strip is typical of Los Angeles, featuring buildings of every imaginable architectural style, a look captured perfectly by artist Ed Ruscha in his 1966 book Every Building on the Sunset Strip. Outdoor advertising permeates the vista, ready to capture the attention of the steady stream of eyeballs that comes with continuously heavy traffic. Billboards of varying sizes are sandwiched between and above colorful hotels, restaurants, offices, gas stations, sleazy strip malls, and trendy retail shops. Now, thanks to digital technology, billboards engulf entire buildings and cover whole city buses, adding even more visual congestion to an already over- saturated urban scene. By day, the Sunset Strip was where the business of the music industry was conducted in the Sixties and Seventies. Both high-rise luxury offices and older, cottage-style buildings have long housed record companies, producers, talent scouts, business managers, personal managers, public relations executives, advertising agencies, design firms, and even a few film, photo, and recording studios.

  • Traffic, Circulation, and Parking
    4.1 Traffic, Circulation, and Parking This section describes the existing transportation and parking conditions within and adjacent to the project area. A traffic report describing the potential impacts of the proposed project was prepared by Iteris in March 2010 and is included as Appendix B. This section summarizes the findings of the traffic report and discusses any necessary mitigation and residual impacts after mitigation. The study area for the traffic report prepared for the proposed project was developed in conjunction with LACMTA and the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT). A study area that included 74 study intersections, consisting of intersections along Wilshire Boulevard, as well as parallel corridors, such as Sunset Boulevard, Santa Monica Boulevard, Olympic Boulevard, Pico Boulevard, 3rd Street, 6th Street, and 8th Street, was established for the proposed project. 4.1.1 Environmental Setting The following discussion includes an overview of the transportation system within the Wilshire BRT study area. The roadway system in the study area forms a grid pattern, with arterials and collectors that generally follow a northeast-to-southwest orientation in the western portion of the study area (west of the City of Beverly Hills) and an east-to-west orientation in the eastern portion of the study area (east of the City of Beverly Hills.) Freeway Network The Santa Monica Freeway (Interstate 10 [I-10]) is a major east-west freeway that parallels Wilshire Boulevard south of the study area. The freeway is one of the busiest and carries some of the highest daily traffic volumes in the nation.
