avalon pedestrian bridge + promenade gateway

The City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA), Public Art Division, and the Harbor Department are seeking professional artists interested in creating permanent public art for the new Avalon Pedestrian Bridge and Promenade Gateway (APB&PG) in the Wilmington neighborhood within Council District 15.

The Avalon Pedestrian Bridge and Promenade Gateway will be located between Harry Bridges Boulevard to the north and the Pacific Harbor railroad Lines (PHL) to the south, extending from halfway between Marine Avenue and A Street to the west and Broad Avenue to the east. The project will be a total of 522,720 square feet and its design includes a combination of passive and active outdoor spaces such as walking trails, picnic areas, and playgrounds. The Avalon Pedestrian Bridge and Promenade Gateway is the third phase of the Port’s implementation of the Wilmington Waterfront Master Plan adopted in 2007.

The Avalon Pedestrian Bridge and Promenade Gateway was designed to connect local residents and regional visitors to the water and to the Wilmington Waterfront Promenade and the public artwork should reflect the history and identity of the community of Wilmington.
