StreetsLA is planning a repave project along Manchester between Sepulveda and Lincoln Blvd. As part of the repave project, restriping will occur and there is a proposal to repurpose segments of the parking lane that are underutilized and sometimes a nuisance for local neighbors. To summarize, here are the changes proposed:

Eastbound Manchester
Lincoln to Emerson: preserve parking
Emerson to Sepulveda: upgrade bicycle facility to protected bike lane

Westbound Manchester
Sepulveda to Georgetown: upgrade bicycle facility to protected bike lane
Georgetown to Lincoln: preserve parking

The objective of the proposal is to mitigate ongoing parking complaints by local residents, upgrade the existing bicycle facility per the Mobility Plan, and build a bicycle network in Westchester that connects residents to local businesses, destinations, and other transit amenities while creating a safer environment for all users of the road.

Information only update and Q & A by Alek Bartrosouf, Mobility Director, Council District 11.
