Committee approves $6 million Safe Streets grant for Olympics pedestrian and bike activations
Summary
The committee approved acceptance of a $6 million Safe Streets (Roads for All) grant to help fund pedestrian and bicycle corridor activations during Olympic events, and transportation staff said designs will prioritize safety and traffic control at key corridors.
The Finance & Budget Committee approved acceptance of a Department of Transportation grant under the Safe Streets / Roads for All program to fund Olympic-related pedestrian and bicycle activations.
Transportation staff described the proposed activations as car‑free corridors during Games activations to facilitate pedestrian and bicycle movement and to connect transit nodes. Staff noted sites such as Hollywood & Highland and other corridors will require detailed traffic‑control and design work; they said planners will coordinate activation design, traffic control and enforcement plans.
The committee approved the recommended action to accept the $6 million grant. Members asked staff to return with design details and a plan for traffic management and enforcement during activations.
