LOS ANGELES, CA — A new pedestrian plaza was recently completed in downtown Los Angeles.

AEG, owner of the Crypto.com Arena and LA Live, recently completed the transformation of the street between those two properties into a pedestrian plaza.

As part of the transformation, Chick Hearn Court between Figueroa Street and Georgia Street has been closed to traffic and now serves as an extension of Peacock Plaza, an outdoor open area surrounded by shops, restaurants and entertainment venues, Urbanize LA reported.
