The project will eliminate 228 parking spots and reduce traffic lanes, sparking concern from longtime business owners who fear losing vital customer access. While 75% of a LADOT survey supported protected bike lanes, the city is working on solutions like new loading zones and expanded parking on adjacent streets to ease the impact, aiming to balance safety with economic survival.
