COUNCIL PRESIDENT ERIC GARCETTI INVITES YOU TO THE GREAT HOLLYWOOD WALKABOUT!!!

Does the word 'Hollywood' make you think of not just a cool sign but a real neighborhood as well? Do you like to imagine spending an entire day in the city you live in without using your car? Do you own a comfortable pair of shoes?

If any of those are true, join architects, planners, and your neighbors for a fun morning walk to discover just how fabulous the streets of Hollywood are or can be.

Presentation and Training by Deborah Murphy, Urban Design + Planning and Los Angeles Walks

Participants will train, divide into groups, and wander the streets of Hollywood paying close attention and asking these questions of their environment:

What makes a great street?
Do the streets of Hollywood have what it takes to be great streets?
Does the street have a strong image and sense of place? Is there a sense of enclosure and human scale, interesting places to walk by and visit and easy pedestrian access to shops?


Wear comfortable walking shoes, a hat and sun protection. Water will be provided
