The City of West Hollywood will begin an elevator modernization project at the West Hollywood Park 5-Story Parking Structure, located at 625 N. San Vicente Boulevard. Construction work will begin on Tuesday, December 3, 2024 and is anticipated to be completed by mid-January 2025. The elevator at the 5-Story Parking Structure will be closed and offline for repairs throughout this period. Park visitors and event/meeting attendees are advised to plan accordingly.
The 5-Story Parking Structure will remain open and available. During the coming weeks, staff will place elevator closure signs and other way-finding notifications in advance at affected locations. The City understands this will cause inconveniences and staff has scheduled this project during a less impacted period for this location. The City is providing the following recommendations for those visiting West Hollywood Park, the Aquatic and Recreation Center, and West Hollywood Library:
- To access the rooftop tennis courts, parking on the 5th floor of the 5-Story Parking Structure is recommended.
- For ADA Parking Access: ADA parking will be reserved on levels 1 and 2.
- For ADA Elevator Access: Patrons are advised to use the Auto Court elevator adjacent to the Friends of the West Hollywood Library Bookstore for ADA access to West Hollywood Library and West Hollywood Park.
- Other ADA special accommodations can be made; please call City Recreation Services Division staff in advance to discuss at (323) 848-6534.
For more information, please contact Dapo Akinsiku, the City of West Hollywood’s Building & Aquatic Center Maintenance Supervisor, at (323) 848-6515 or at dakinsiku@weho.org.
Hey, City Hall – how about temporarily restriping the 3rd floor level of the structure for disabled placard holders? Those who have mobility challenges can then easily walk across the foot bridge to the park and the Aquatics Center without having to negotiate either the west-end multi-door (and multi-turn) pedestrian exit on the ground floor, or have to hold their breath to use the urine-filled elevator across from the Council Chambers.
That damn thing has been a waste of money since it started and an obnoxious vanity project.
