Council to Weigh Plan to Redevelop Downtown
Plans to revitalize downtown San Pedro can move a step closer to reality today if the Los Angeles City Council approves a motion to allow the Community Redevelopment Agency to prepare a redevelopment plan for the Pacific Avenue Corridor.
For the past 12 months, the CRA has been working with a 15-member Community Advisory Board to determine the needs of the area, which had been the commercial center of downtown San Pedro. The board has highlighted the need to improve businesses and landscaping in order for the district to make a comeback.
If the City Council allows the CRA to proceed, the agency will put together a redevelopment plan for the area.
The process is scheduled to take about a year and must be approved by the City Council before the revitalization can begin.
