Mayor Executive Directive No. 1 : Great Streets Initiative

Los Angeles must carefully consider how to leverage and invest our scarce resources, and we must strategically coordinate our investment s in a manner that has the most meaningful impact on the City and its residents. Our street network stretches 6,500 center line miles , making it the largest municipal street system in the United States. As the City’s largest public space asset, covering approximately 13% of our land area, streets reflect and drive the economic and social vibrancy of our neighborhoods. Accordingly, I am launching the City of Los Angeles Greats Streets Initiative. This Initiative will focus on developing Great Streets t hat activate the public realm, provide economic revitalization, and support great neighbor hoods.

Great Streets will support the following six goals:

● Increased Economic Activity
● Improved Access and Mobility
● Enhanced Neighborhood Character
● Greater Community Engagement
● Improved Environmental Resilience
● Safer and More Secure Communities
