Invitation to 7th Street GLOW

          Street lighting projects around downtown, including South Park, are brightening the streets, adding to the safety and security of the neighborhood, and adding to the ambiance of downtown LA.

         A recent project between DTLA Alliance and CD14 included the lighting of 29 trees along 7thStreet between Figueroa and Hill Streets along with the restoration of streetlamps and lights. Let’s check out the project. You are invited!

DTLA Alliance is hosting the 7th Street GLOW, a free community celebration on Wednesday, October 16, 2024, from 6 PM – 9 PM, featuring a lighting ceremony at The Bloc, a free silent disco at FIGat7th, live entertainment, giveaways, and more!

And another lighting project is in the works by DTLA RA (Downtown Los Angeles Residents Association) who conducted a recent poll of residents for their “Lights On” initiative to brighten the streets of Downtown LA. If you would like to participate and share your opinion -  sign the petition and vote for your top three pedestrian pathways for lights.

The South Park BID (Business Improvement District) earlier this year completed their lighting project on Pico and 11th Street with string lights and tree lights.

We’re encouraged and inspired by all efforts to light up DTLA!
