It is certain that the population of LA is increasing. Lets assume that the population of LA is supposed to double in the next 50 years what will our streets look like?
Take Santa Monica/ West LA for instance. On an average day there are 300,000 commuters going to and from this part of the city of angels. If our population increases so dramatically how will LA accommodate the growth? Our streets will change but how, and who will change them. Will it be the city of LA buying up homes and storefronts to widen the streets or will it mean that public transportation and mass transit will have to change. As most of us in LA know, changing mass transit is not a simple, fast or easy process. If these changes where to happen what would they look like? How can we contribute to the changes or how could we start that change?
Start with your street. What does your street look like at rush hour and how would it look if the number of people on the street doubled. Would your street get smaller or larger? Would people be walking, biking or in a vehicle. Design your street with your assumptions and based on those assumption make some changes.
