ANGELS FLIGHT
Built in 1901, Angels Flight has two red cars – named Sinai and Olivet – and an ornate archway labeled “Angeles Flight”, to ferry passengers up and down a steep incline in the Bunker Hill district. The landmark funicular railway is said to be the world's shortest incorporated railway; it's a public utility operated as a franchise granted by the City of L. A. Closed for restoration, it will reopen “in the near future.” Angels Flight was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 13, 2000.
Planning & Land Use Committee
The Planning & Land Use Committee focuses on the broad variety of planning issues arising
out of the dramatic redevelopment of Downtown LA. The Committee facilitates and provides a
forum for public discussion and input on individual projects and general policy decisions re-
shaping Downtown's landscape. Our goal is to encourage innovative and responsible land use
planning that improves Downtown for all current and future stakeholders, including residents,
businesses, workers, and the City as a whole. We recognize that the redevelopment of
Downtown has both social and economic impacts, and that the on-going transformation of our
metropolis is occurring against the background of cultural and historic resources that must be
preserved. Our guiding principles encourage excellent architecture and design that is
sustainable, transit-oriented, pedestrian-friendly, and compatible with existing and developing
uses in the many neighborhoods that make up Downtown.
