The EHBID’s Vermont Ave. medians project was selected as one of the funding recipients through the highly competitive Metro Call for Projects process, as a way to calm traffic and enhance the pedestrian experience in this highly traveled area of the city. The EHBID has partnered with Metro, LADOT, and City Council District 13 to bring the median project to fruition. A total of six medians will stretch from Hollywood Blvd. to Santa Monica Blvd. This area of Vermont Ave. encompasses several major hospitals, two Metro stations, LA City College, the Braille Institute, religious institutions, many small business, and residents, making it a busy corridor for pedestrians and motorists alike. Construction for the first four medians was completed in 2016. Construction of the final two medians is expected to begin this Fall.
