What are the ingredients for an LCI?
Existing Neighborhood Serving Retail
A street where housing can be built over existing Neighborhood Serving Retail and small, local shops and family-owned businesses, that helps create a walkable neighborhood where residents can live car-light or even car-free.
Walkable/Bikeable
A neighborhood that is located in a seamless walking or biking distance to jobs and Metro/high quality transit (like a BRT or Metrolink stop.)
Low-Traffic Streets
A street that can be slowed -- so the cars are not too fast, and there are not too many of them. Ideally, it does not carry a lot of traffic (like Hollywood Blvd); it is a dead end street (like Westwood); and not too wide and an artery through the city (like Venice). The key is that there is the ability to slow the cars and reduce their volume to make it a Larchmont, not a freeway.
