The Famous Sunset Strip – Past Present and Future

Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood is one of the most famous streets in the world: a combination of glamour, along with rock and roll history, high-end dining and numerous hotels attract thousands of visitors every year. Adorned with billboards and tall-walls, the Strip also has a long tradition of innovative and memorable signage. On this WalkShop, learn about West Hollywood’s preliminary ideas for shifting the focus of the Strip from the automobile to pedestrian-focused design, including streetscape strategies that will enable pedestrians to view and enjoy new billboard art, and accommodate uses between ‘old’ and ‘new’ Sunset Boulevard.
