City Hall is contributing money to preserve the character of nearby Yale Street.
Located between Montana Avenue and Wilshire Boulevard, the Yale Street parkway will soon be widened. Due to local residents’ petitions, an existing tree canopy will remain intact during and after construction.
Though the Yale Street Improvement Project will total just more than $1 million, City Hall will contribute only $320,000, leaving the remaining $906,628 to the property owners’ expense in the form of assessments, according to a city staff report.
The public will be notified on the scope of the project and will receive notice of potential impacts, scheduling and updates.
