FUTURE PORT PROJECTS

SUPPORTING NEW PROJECTS

The Port has identified critical new supporting projects that provide continuity in purpose and vision with the original prioritized projects in the Port’s Public Access Investment Plan.  These projects are critical to the Port’s strategy of building public access infrastructure that increases visitors to the LA Waterfront, and increases investment from private developers. 

These projects connect LA Waterfront attractions and improve the public’s experience at the LA Waterfront.  Supporting projects include three in transportation, three in amenities and two related to infrastructure.
 

Transportation Projects

Harbor Blvd. Improvements

Harbor Blvd. Improvements

  • This project continues the completed Harbor Blvd. and 7th St. Intersection Improvement Project by extending improvements to the San Pedro Slip, further south to 22nd Street and west along 22nd Street.

  • This project is critical to connect waterfront attractions like CRAFTED at the Port of Los Angeles, AltaSea and West Harbor waterfront development. 

  • Total Project Cost: $19.0M

Signal Street Improvements
