Weho Patch was at the grand reopening of the Sunset Strip in August where the city unveiled new repaved and wider sidewalks, trees and medians. There are traffic signals and parking meter upgrades that allow easy access to parking and payment with credit cards.  

Other improvements to the Sunset Strip included:

  • Creating a shade tree district with Golden Rain trees as well as a Palm tree district and Magnolia tree district
  • Installing a new planted median at the west entrance to the city
  • Planting flowering trees at the east entrance to the City

The total cost of the Sunset Strip Beautification Project infrastructure investment was $5.4 million. The majority of the funding, $4.3 million was from the city's Capital Improvement budget, while $1.1 million was funded through the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009.
