Larchmont Median Project north of Beverly Bl.

The City has applied for a $416,000 grant to install landscaped traffic medians on North Larchmont Boulevard between Melrose and Rosewood avenues. The grant is available through METRO's Call for Projects program, which is a competitive process. Grant awards are expected to be announced this summer.
