About great
streets challenge
Los Angeles Mayor Garcetti launched the Great Streets Initiative to re-image neighborhood centers, one main street at a time.
We are pleased to announce that Little Ethiopia has won May Garcetti’s 2019 Great Street Challenge which will begin a project to provide the Ethiopian Community of LA with a presence that can offer resources, renovations and a collective community voice to make Little Ethiopia a Destination.

The Great Streets Challenge, established in 2013, is a city wide program that allows communities to envision, collaborate, and build transformative infrastructure projects.
The Great Streets Challenge aims to:
-
Build strong partnerships between communities and the City of Los Angeles
-
Empower communities to develop a vision to transform their corridors.
-
Design streets with a community's vision of how to improve our neighborhoods for all people.
-
Implement projects that transform our streets into safe, accessible, and vibrant public spaces in alignment with adopted City policies.
What does it mean to be a Great Street?
Great Streets are more than just ways of getting from point A to point B. They are where you meet your neighbors, enjoy a stroll, savor coffee, or play with your friends. Great Streets represents the intersection between safety and function for all users, and the celebration of community identity, history, and place. Be a part of our initiative and help define what a 'Great Street' means for our community.
