City of West Hollywood Encourages Community Members to Weigh-in on Westside Bus Connection Project

The City of West Hollywood encourages residents and stakeholders to attend an upcoming community workshop - to be held on Wednesday, June 3, 2026; Saturday, June 6, 2026; and Wednesday, June 10, 2026 - about bus speed improvements proposed for three Westside corridors, including N. La Cienega Boulevard in the City of West Hollywood and neighboring cities.

The City of West Hollywood is working with other Westside Cities Council of Governments (WSCCOG) to plan for bus speed and reliability improvements ahead of the LA28 Olympics. Stakeholders can help plan for bus infrastructure on the Westside by attending an upcoming WSCCOG community workshop or filling out the online survey to help shape early design concepts and ensure the project reflects community needs. The WSCCOG is leading the Westside Bus Connection project, a "quick-build" initiative aimed at enhancing the bus rider experience along three of the Westside's busiest and most important corridors.

These corridors are among the busiest in the region, and improvements could provide long-term benefits for riders while preparing the Westside for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The designs may include:

• Dedicated and/or peak hour bus lanes
• Transit signal upgrades
• Curb and striping changes
• Pedestrian and cyclist safety improvements
• Bus pad improvements at select bus stops
• Parking and travel lane changes

West Hollywood residents and stakeholders are encouraged to attend one of the WSCCOG's three upcoming community workshops to weigh in on design options under consideration for N. La Cienega Boulevard in West Hollywood as well as portions of Santa Monica Boulevard (West of Beverly Hills) and Sepulveda Boulevard in Culver City and West Los Angeles:

Wednesday, June 3, 2026 - 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

La Cienega Community Center
8400 Gregory Way, Beverly Hills

Saturday, June 6, 2026 - 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Wednesday, June 10, 2026 - 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Virtual Meeting Zoom Registration Link

These community workshops follow previous meetings held in West Hollywood and Culver City in March 2026. Those that are unable to attend one of the workshops are encouraged to fill out the Westside Bus Connection Program survey. Community feedback will help inform design concepts and guide improvements that aim to make travel faster, safer, and more reliable.
