Keeping the Mile a Miracle: Appropriate Transit-Oriented Development Along the Wilshire Corridor

WHO:      Breathe California of Los Angeles County (BREATHE LA), The 4th annual BREATHE LA Green Salon Series focuses on mobility: Moving Los Angeles County into a clean air future.

WHAT:       Expert panel discussion with robust Q&A to explore how can the neighborhoods that surround both the Fairfax and La Brea subway stations preserve their history while creating new directions for a robust future.  Successful Transit-Oriented Districts are characterized by a mix of uses (residential, retail and commercial), designs that encourage pedestrian activity, and vibrant multi-faceted economies.  How have such districts produced benefits for local residents, merchants, property owners and others?   What have been some of the unanticipated consequences?   Of most importance, how can communities work collaboratively with the private sector and local governments to encourage the types of development that makes surrounding neighborhoods even more desirable as places to live, work and visit?   What are the critical lessons to be learned for the Miracle Mile?

Participants include:
    Brian Cornelius, Vice President of Development, Caruso Affiliated
    Jeff Jacobberger, Chair, Mid City West Community Council
    Jennifer Regan, Global Sustainability Director, AEG
    Moderated by Neal Richman, Ph.D., Director of Programs and Advocacy, BREATHE LA
