A list was released on June 2 of 15 Los Angeles streets to be revamped under Mayor Eric Garcetti’s Great Streets urban renewal program. Of the 15, two of them are on the Westside while another is in Hollywood and a fourth in nearby Mid-Wilshire.

The mayor’s office chose one street in each of the 15 council districts to receive improvements aimed at making them more pedestrian-friendly and livable.

The thoroughfares range from San Pedro’s Gaffey Street to the San Fernando Valley’s Van Nuys Boulevard, and from Venice Boulevard in Mar Vista to Cesar Chavez Street in Boyle Heights.
