Document Description
The Sidewalk Repair-Bureau of Street Services (StreetsLA) Package No. 63 project (Project) consists of the repair of existing sidewalks pursuant to the City of Los Angeles' obligations under the Willits Settlement Agreement (U.S. Dist. Court Case No. CV10-05782 CBM [RZX]). The scope of work is limited to the removal of the specific Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) access barrier(s) and adjacent work for the purpose of barrier removal, as identified by requestor/resident with a disability, in accordance with the applicable accessibility requirements, including those required by the ADA. The beneficiaries of the Project include the public and local businesses. The Project includes the removal of one street tree at Site 9891 at 1506 Echo Park Ave.
The tree needs to be removed as part of the sidewalk repair which would require a separate discretionary approval by the Bureau of Street Services, Urban Forestry Division or the Board of Public Works. The Bureau of Engineering conditionally approved the Project on March 27, 2026, contingent upon approval of the tree
removals by the Bureau of Street Services (StreetsLA). StreetsLA determined the project was exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and approved the tree removals on April 1, 2026.
