These relatively recent streetscape improvements attempt to tie together the many cultural and institutional landmarks located along this stretch of Grand Avenue in Downtown Los Angeles- Disney Concert Hall, Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, the Municipal Court and the Cathedral to name a few.
The wide sidewalks, interesting paving patterns, mix of palms and shade trees and good way-finding signage make for a good pedestrian experience. But the street itself seems unnecessarily wide making the two sides of the streets seem somewhat unrelated given the vast expanse of asphalt between them.
