Background:

Over the past several months, StreetsLA and Council President Emeritus Paul Krekorian have worked together on an exciting renovation of the NoHo People Street Plaza. On November 22, they invite you to celebrate the grand reopening of this revitalized public space. Formerly an alley, the NoHo Plaza has been transformed into a vibrant community hub and destination for cultural activities.

Council President Emeritus Paul Krekorian has committed resources to support programming in the plaza over the coming months, with the goal of encouraging the community to embrace this space for public arts, gatherings, and enjoyment. 

StreetsLA renovated the space including:

  • New concrete alley, with upgraded drainage
  • New paint and upgrades to the walkway, including new paint and surface texture
  • ADA upgrades to the sidewalk and curbs
  • Arts design on the side of the building facing the plaza
  • New shade structures
  • Upgraded planters and landscape
  • New furniture and creative space design
The Artists
Amy Smith

Local artist Amy Smith won the Council District 2 contest for a new NoHo mural, and a community panel selected her work to be painted on the LADOT wall in front of the parking lot on Magnolia, just west of Lankershim.  She will have completed the mural by the 22nd and we will also celebrate that lovely mural addition to the area.
 

Local artist Katie Sunderalingam’s design was selected by the Bureau of Street Services.  She has been working tirelessly to paint this large mural on the side of the Public Works Chandler Yard along the Chandler outdoor mural gallery. Both murals were also funded through the NoHo CRA Bond program.
