Westchester Business District Rennovation

8/4/2008 9:48:32 AM

After about six months of construction work on the west side of Sepulveda Boulevard, the Streetscape project has now begun work on the east side. A variety of city representatives and contractor representatives have circulated a rumored completion date for the entire business district section of Sepulveda for mid-November. Of course that rumor is simply that. Rumor. Though there is adaquate space for onstreet parking on the west side of Sepulveda, it remains a "no parking" zone. Every business along Sepulveda has suffered from lack of onstreet parking for patrons. City representatives have been quick to offer apologies for the sluggish pace of construction, but slow to implement any effect measures to relieve the financial burden placed on local merchants. Clearly the City of Los Angeles lacks conviction to support local merchants through the business disaster brought about by the Streetscape project.
