Q & A with the CRA/LA
This is a column to provide information about activities of the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Los Angeles (CRA/LA) in the North Hollywood Redevelopment Project Area. Additional information can be found on the CRA/LA web site at http://www.crala.net/Projects/North_Hollywood/. The information is updated regularly. There is also a quarterly report published in hard copy that may be downloaded from the web, obtained at our office or sent via US Mail.


What can you tell me about the North Hollywood Gateway?

The Gateway, designed by artist Peter Shire, will be positioned in a highly visible location just north of the busy intersection of Lankershim Boulevard and Vineland Avenue. The design emphasizes function, height and color. The Gateway will span across Lankershim Boulevard near Huston Street using a support structure based upon a standard overhead freeway signage truss with the artist-designed elements attached to it. The center will spell out the word “NoHo” and will be illuminated at night.

The artist’s concept was to celebrate the area’s history of providing behind the scenes support to the entertainment industry and the Gateway depicts characters busily building sets, operating cameras and designing costumes. The support structure will be painted a vibrant yellow, with the artwork contrasting in a range of reds and oranges. Mr. Shire will fabricate the artwork elements and oversee their installation by the general contractor. Work is expected to begin in April 2008, with the entire project completed by September 2008.

The Gateway is funded by CRA/LA and will complement other improvements initiated by CRA/LA in the North Hollywood Redevelopment Project Area. We are looking forward to presenting our community with this latest improvement in North Hollywood.
