Program: Transform a major Los Angeles thoroughfare into a multimodal boulevard that provides community-oriented public spaces, particularly in densely developed West Hollywood, while continuing to handle high volumes of vehicular traffic. ... Previously, planning efforts assumed that major streets had only one function: moving the highest volume of traffic in the shortest period of time. [But] many grassroots groups ... argued that streets should serve all users, including pedestrians, cyclists, and transit riders. 1, record 1, English, - multimodal%20boulevard

boulevard urbain : Le terme «boulevard urbain», qui est abondamment employé pour désigner cette réalité, n’a pas été retenu. Un boulevard est une large voie de communication et d’échanges dans les grandes villes. Selon cette définition, «boulevard urbain» est pléonastique. En outre, l’adjectif urbain ne traduit pas les notions de cohabitation des modes de transport ni de respect de l’environnement dans un contexte socio-économique. 1, record 1, French, - boulevard%20multimodal
