Third Street Promenade- Santa Monica, California

Project Abstract

"In 1965...Santa Monica turned three blocks of its main downtown street into the Third Street Mall, and ultra-spacious auto-free zone. The problem was that this extra-wide space was too big and too daunting for the pedestrian population...and remained that way until the late 1980s, when it underwent a radical face lift, and was transformed into the Third Street Promenade."
