Issues & challenges

The health of independent businesses, storefronts, and local jobs.
How people move — walking, biking, buses, the E Line, and driving.
Whether people of every age and ability can actually use the city.
Climate resilience, urban canopy, water, waste, and biodiversity.
Water quality, shoreline health, beach facilities, and coastal access.
Markets, festivals, cleanups, concerts, and neighborhood gatherings.

On the map
Keep exploring
Miles of wide public sand running the length of the city, with the beach path, volleyball courts, and open water.
Three car-free blocks of shopping, street performance, and public gathering between Wilshire and Broadway.
A narrow bluff-top park running along Ocean Avenue, with palms, walking paths, and the city's best ocean overlooks.
The dense core between the freeway and the ocean — offices, apartments, hotels, shopping, and the E Line terminus.
