Kevin de Leon announces huge $47.5M infrastructure for ignored Skid Row community – trees, sidewalks, bicycle paths.
A bicycle connectivity and pedestrian safety program that will also bring trees to Skid Row got $47.5 million in funding, most of it from a state grant and $9 million from the city, Los Angeles City Councilman Kevin de León announced on Wednesday, Dec. 21.
The project includes more than 2.4 miles of bicycle infrastructure, planting of 500 street trees and more than 540 pedestrian lights for the downtown Los Angeles neighborhood. It will also seek to widen sidewalks, create new bicycle connections and improve specific corridors. The funding, via an Active Transportation Grant, includes more than $38 million from the state, and a matching grant of $9 million from the city.
De León, whose district includes Skid Row, is currently embroiled in a controversy over his refusal to resign for his participation in a 2021 leaked racist conversation, which included disparaging Black voters and attempts to manipulate redistricting.
