Hyde Park / Chesterfield Square Segment
This design concept focuses on safety/security concerns between Slauson and 11th Avenues where private properties abut Metro’s ROW. Given the narrow ROW, the walk and bike paths are separated with a stormwater treatment median (bioswale). The layout addresses visibility concerns by limiting trees, and discourages encampments by minimizing landscaped areas. The separated walk and bike paths would meet at regular intervals. Features include:
• Asphalt paved walkway and bike path
• Regularly spaced lighting along entire path with abilityto integrate cameras and emergency telephones on pole
• Fencing at ROW edge where needed (Metro standardpanelized)
• Trees at access points
• Low, drought tolerant plants and decomposed granite
• Drain to center buffer with bioswale
• Vines where appropriate (not in front of murals)

LANDSCAPE OVERALL• Select trees and landscape according to neighborhood.• Bio-swales to recapture water.• Environmental signage that explains plant material.• Maintainable.• Young people especially love space that provides quiet places
in nature.
TREES• We have to have shade.• Prioritize shade for all pedestrians and other active uses on site. • Avoid trees that litter a lot and/or have large pods such as
Sycamore and Pine since their pods and cones are hazardous for anyone on wheels.
• Avoid using thick/wide trunked trees where people can hide.• Trees should not encourage homeless encampments.
PLANTS• Groundcover should be low (less than 3’) and trees should
be tall.• Landscape that indicates different seasons with color and smell.• Plants and trees that smell good and improve air quality.• Commit to native and drought tolerant plants.• No pointy plant material. No cactus.• Utilize plant palette from Augustus F. Hawkins Natural Park.• Shorter landscape like succulents or plant material could
prevent encampments.
Tree & Plant Criteria – Community Comments

Looking east along 67th St, triangular parcel and alley at leftNOTE: The “Downtown Inglewood/Fairview Heights TOD Plan” considered Long Ave as a potential bicycle-friendly residential street. The adopted plan envisions future mixed-use development on West Blvd with active sidewalks and streetscape along the west sidewalk. The City of Inglewood is currently developing an Active Transportation Plan (ATP) to be completed mid-2017. The West Blvd roadway and eastern sidewalk are within the City of Los Angeles.
