Metro Blue Line Mile Planning

Client: LA Metro

Location: Metro Blue Line Stations,
Downtown Los Angeles to Long Beach, CA

Award: 2019 Los Angeles American Planning Association, Grassroots Initiative.

HERE worked on urban design visioning for the 22 stations along the Metro Blue Line. We trained community members in the First/Last Mile audit methodology, oversaw station area analysis, and recommended urban design improvements within a 1/2 mile of each of the stations.

We conceptualized station area improvements through design drawings and graphics, along with a series of tactical urbanism workshops where elements from the First/Last Mile kit-of-parts were designed, fabricated, and set up in the urban realm so that community members can see and feel potential changes, and provide feedback to the team.
