The Los Angeles City Council's Transportation Committee noted and filed a report from the Department of Transportation (LADOT) evaluating safety improvements along the Anaheim Priority Corridor, specifically Anaheim Street between Figueroa Street and Henry Ford Avenue. The report, dated June 30, 2025, provided an overview of traffic safety improvements installed in February 2023, which included lane reconfigurations, new bike lanes, curb extensions, and intersection treatments. LADOT's analysis showed a 33% decrease in severe injury or fatal collisions, and an overall increase in speed limit compliance on most segments. Active transportation modes, such as walking and biking, also increased, with a significant decrease in bicyclists riding on sidewalks. However, high-end speeding increased in some westbound segments. The report highlighted ongoing and future projects, including a $32 million Active Transportation Program (ATP) project to upgrade temporary quick-build elements to concrete barriers and new signals, with construction scheduled from 2027 to 2030. The committee's action was for information only, and no further Council action was required.
