GREAT STREETS FOR LA This plan establishes a vision for LADOT to deliver Great Streets for Los Angeles that will support economic vitality and enhance quality of life The Los Angeles Department of Transportation is a major provider of infrastructure and services that are vital to the prosperity and livability of this city. One simple vision will propel our investments and activities into the future: creating Great Streets for Los Angeles. Great Streets encapsulates our vision for the city’s 21st Century transportation system. It is a more inclusive system that provides better multi-modal choice, a system that can be sustained within our means both economically and ecologically, and a system that supports our economy by connecting places and creating public spaces. The elements of this strategic plan will guide LADOT in creating Great Streets. Our perspective on Great Streets extends from the edges of the pavement all the way up to the need for a capable and wellmanaged agency to design, manage, and maintain our investments. The goals, strategies, and benchmarks of the plan will help LADOT continue to be a world-class agency. We will innovate and implement the latest technology, deliver services with pride and excellence in customer service, attract and retain the best talent, and value partnerships and demonstrate civic leadership. 7
