Los Angeles Neighborhood Improvement
- LANI Project
Boyle Heights, located
in East Los Angeles, became a "LANI neighborhood" in 1994. Once a primarily
Jewish settlement, Boyle Heights is one of Los Angeles' oldest communities,
and retains many historic buildings. First Street contains mixed residential
and commercial uses, with many restaurants and dance halls, and fewer retail
and groceries stores. A "mini-civic center" at First and Soto Streets is
created by a police station, library, youth and immigration organizations,
and the Boyle Heights Pocket Park, created by LANI and the Boyle Heights
Recognized Community Organization (RCO) in 1997.
