LA Fashion District Receiving Restitution for Graffiti
LA Fashion District BID Operations Director Randall Tampa attended a court hearing last week to provide testimony in a case regarding restitution for graffiti removal costs. The Neighborhood Prosecutors won the case and the district will receive over $400 from the convicted tagger. Tampa will attend court hearings in September to provide testimony on a pending case.
Neighborhood Prosecutors decided to seek restitution as a result of a July 15th BID Operations Committee meeting, in which the BID brought the costs of graffiti removal to their attention.
Bringing Back Broadway Ribbon Cutting Ceremony
On Thursday, August 28, Council member Jose Huizar (District 14) celebrated the official launch of the Bringing Back Broadway Streetscape Project Dress Rehearsal Phase 1 with a ribbon cutting ceremony at Grand Central Market. The first sets of tables and chairs have been set out on Broadway, including some in the Fashion District at 9th and Broadway and 9th and Olympic Boulevard. The Bringing Back Broadway Streetscape Project aims to make Broadway a more pedestrian friendly street. The Dress Rehearsal Phase takes over one lane of traffic and converts it to a seating area for pedestrian. Streetcar Cost Estimate Reduced 
In a recent draft report, analysts reduced the streetcar price to $270 million which is $55 million less than officials had previously estimated.
