Sidewalk Repair Rebate Program -147 N VENDOME ST- 90026

The Sidewalk Repair Rebate Program for 147 N Vendome St in Los Angeles, California, is a project managed by the City of Los Angeles Department of Public Works and the Bureau of Engineering. The primary objective is to repair existing sidewalks to fulfill the city's obligations under the Willits Settlement Agreement. The scope of work is specifically limited to the removal of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) access barriers and related adjacent work as identified by residents with disabilities. A key component of the project is the removal of one street tree, which requires separate discretionary approval from the Board of Public Works or the Bureau of Street Services, Urban Forestry Division. The project was approved on April 2, 2026, and was determined to be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Class 1 and Class 32 categorical exemptions. All construction and design must adhere to strict regulatory standards, including the Los Angeles Municipal Code, Bureau of Engineering Standard Plans, the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction Greenbook, and the Work Area Traffic Control Handbook. The project is intended to benefit the general public and local businesses by ensuring ADA compliance and improving accessibility. Matthew Mahlebashian serves as the primary engineering point of contact for the project.
