Leimert Park

It is a moment of great opportunity for Leimert Park with the Destination Crenshaw groundbreaking in celebration of local art and culture as well as Leimert Park Village 20 / 20 Village Initiative bringing infrastructure and transit oriented development to the community. The pilot seeks to increase access to not only clean and affordable transportation but also benefits of the green economy through workforce development and job creation.

Goals:

• Workforce development through e-bike mechanic training, local shuttle driver hiring, and opportunity for increased delivery revenue.
• First / last mile transportation for local errands as well as connection to metro for access to the greater LA region.
• Local business growth both from increased foot traffic and greater delivery throughput.

Partners:

• The community partners include SankofaCity, We Love Leimert, Community for Economic Development Corporation / Institute for Maximum Human Potential, and KAOS Networks who are lead community outreach and education strategy.
• Additional partners are local businesses, Ride On! Bike Shop / Co-op and South LA Cafe, both activists and community organizers as well as LACI’s Founders Business Accelerator participants.
