Its goal is to connect the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center in Anaheim and Union Station in Downtown Los Angeles with the Salesforce Transit Center in San Francisco via the Central Valley, providing a one-seat ride between Union Station and San Francisco in 2 hours and 40 minutes, a distance of 380 miles (610 km). Future extensions (in Phase 2) are planned to connect southward to stations in San Diego County via the Inland Empire, as well as northward to Sacramento. It will be implemented in a number of self-supporting segments, as resources become available. CAHSR plans to eventually operate on dedicated, grade-separated tracks for the entirety of its route between San Jose and Burbank with maximum speeds of up to 220 miles per hour (355 km/h). The San Francisco–San Jose and Los Angeles–Anaheim sections will be shared with local trains in a "blended system." The project is owned and managed by the state of California through the California High-Speed Rail Authority (CHSRA). The Bakersfield to Los Angeles segment would be the first instance of a direct passenger train route between the cities since the termination of the Southern Pacific Railroad's San Joaquin Daylight in 1971. The CAHSRA was established by an act of the California State Legislature and tasked with presenting a high-speed rail plan to the voters. This plan, Proposition 1A, was approved by voters in 2008 after the presentation and was assigned a $9 billion bond to begin construction on the initial leg of the network. The project has been widely described as troubled,being far behind schedule and suffering from management turmoil, problems with procuring land, and engineering issues. In addition, the cost of the project has risen from an estimate of $33 billion in 2008 to $80 billion by 2020. According to a poll in June 2021, 42 percent of California voters supported halting the project, while 41 percent supported continuing it. The California High-Speed Rail Authority was established in 1996 after decades of advocacy for building a high speed rail system in California. The passage of Proposition 1A in 2008, followed by the awarding of federal stimulus funds in 2010, established the initial funding for the California High-Speed Rail system. Construction contracts began to be awarded in 2013, and the groundbreaking ceremony for initial construction was held on January 6, 2015. Citing delays and cost overruns and lack of transparency from the project's leadership, Governor Gavin Newsom reaffirmed the state's commitment to the project on February 12, 2019. Newsom said the state will prioritize construction a segment already underway through California's Central Valley, arguing it would revitalize the economically depressed region. The state will complete the planning for the remaining segments and seek federal funds for their construction. He also said he would replace the head of the state board that oversees the project and pledged more accountability for contractors that run over on costs.

Construction Goes Vertical for 38-Story Koreatown Tower The project, which broke ground in September 2020 at 696 S. New Hampshire Avenue, will consist of a 38-story building containing 375 residential units. MVE + Partners is designing the boxy glass high-rise, which would sit atop an eight-story parking garage. Plans call for activating the upper levels of both the podium and the tower with landscaped amenity decks. The under-construction project was entitled as part of a larger mixed-use development by Harridge Development Group which would span the east side of New Hampshire Avenue between 7th Street and Wilshire Boulevard. Other components of the approved plan include a smaller apartment building, slated to replace an adjoining parking lot, as well as the conversion of the 1930s Wilshire Galleria - originally an I. Magnin department store - into a 160-room hotel. The tower was originally approved as one component of a larger mixed-use project by Harridge Development Group, which would span the full east side of New Hampshire Avenue between 7th Street and Wilshire Boulevard. The proposed development is also expected to replace an adjoining parking lot with a smaller apartment building, while also bringing a 160-room hotel to the interior of the 1930s Wilshire Galleria - originally built as an I. Magnin department store. Other projects now in the pipeline in the surrounding neighborhood include a proposed mixed-use apartment building one block east at Vermont and Leeward Avenues, as well new housing to be built as a second phase of Los Angeles County's $300-million Vermont Corridor project. Holland Partner Group's project is the latest in a series of new apartment towers in Koreatown, joining the 25-story Kurve on Wilshire development now wrapping up construction near Lafayette Park. Vancouver, Washington-based Holland Partner Group is currently developing multifamily housing in neighborhood across the Los Angeles area, including proposed developments in Echo Park, San Pedro, and Mid-Wilshire. The company recently broke ground on a 185-unit apartment complex in Hollywood.

The $120-million Hollywood Arts Collective, which replaced a city-owned parking lot between Schrader Boulevard and Wilcox Avenue, will include a new seven-story edifice featuring 151 units of affordable housing earmarked for artists, as well as a performing arts venue, arts galleries, and rehearsal studios. Plans also call for new office space that will serve as the western region headquarters for The Actors Fund. Withee Malcolm Architects is designing the apartment complex, which will offer a mix of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom floor plans, all of which will be restricted to households earning at or below 50, 60, and 80 percent of the Los Angeles area median income level. Per an application to the State of California for bond funding, rents at the building are expected to range from $518 to $2,110 per month. HGA is designing another component of the project - the adjoining Arts Building - will include the galleries, rehearsal studios, and an 86-seat theater named for philanthropist Glorya Kaufman. The project is funded in part through $100 million in public and private sources, including the City of Los Angeles, the State of California, the Los Angeles Development Fund and the federal Low Income Housing Tax Credit program. The Actors Fund is also planning to raise $20 million to complete construction. Completion of the mixed-use project is expected in 2024.

Renovation work at the nearly 20-year-old complex, next to the Oscars-hosting Dolby Theatre and the TCL Chinese Theatre, is set to commence later this year and wrap up in late 2021. As for the new name, Hollywood & Highland will be rechristened as Ovation Hollywood. “An ovation is a sign of appreciation for someone’s work, talent, or effort,” Stenn Parton, chief retail officer at DJM, the Californian real estate development firm spearheading the transformation alongside Gaw Capital USA, said in a press release. “At Ovation Hollywood we applaud the creators, doers, teachers, doctors, entertainers, and small business owners that make this community sing. During this tough time for the world at large, we want to create a place of recognition, celebration and coming together in search of what it means to experience one of the most iconic places in the world.” Gaw Capital USA and DJM purchased the complex last year for $325 million, and are the property’s third owners in its relatively short lifespan. When the five-level mall-cum-tourist magnet opened in 2001 at the site of the old Hollywood Hotel, it ushered in a family-friendly metamorphosis (a sea change similar to the sanitization of New York’s Times Square, which Hollywood & Highland is often compared to) within the formerly gritty heart of Hollywood, attracting a wave of new development to the still-transforming area. While the EE&K-designed complex (EE&K firm merged with Perkins Eastman in 2010) helped to reshape and revitalize Hollywood’s main commercial stretch, Hollywood & Highland itself has struggled and long been a frequent target of criticism, much of it design-focused. In 2007, Curbed Los Angeles bestowed Hollywood & Highland as the winner of its “Ugliest Building in Los Angeles” contest, saying: “It’s like a horrible, bad dream, but it’s real. And it’s ours.” Indeed, from an aesthetic standpoint, Hollywood & Highland operates within a garish, self-referential Tinseltown universe in which it’s perfectly normal to model a shopping mall’s central courtyard—a store-lined enclosure flanked by massive elephant sculptures perched atop soaring pedestals—after the lavish set of Intolerance, D.W. Griffith’s 1916 follow-up to The Birth of a Nation. (Curbed has also covered the bizarre cinematic influence, which also involves Ray Bradbury and is likely completely lost on most tourists.) As part of the Gensler-headed design revamp, the courtyard’s signature pachyderm statuary will be put into retirement and other Babylonian design flourishes will be removed and refigured in favor of a more restrained aesthetic that, per the Los Angeles Times, offers “a modern take on Art Deco style inspired by the upward beams of klieg lights once common at Hollywood movie premieres.” A press statement from Gaw Capital USA elaborated that the renovation will see the ailing complex “moving away from outdated architecture, an uninspired project identity, and confusing layout.” As such, the facade and color will be simplified, new public art will be installed, outdoor public space/landscaping will be enhanced and updated, and navigating the complex will be less disorienting. As Gensler’s David Glover told the Times, the complex needs to “pivot and transform away from being a hub of transaction to a hub of culture. What we did was an editing job to recast this into a 21st-century development.” However, retail won’t be erased entirely from the renovated and rebranded complex as there will be 135,000 square feet of retail space with a “refreshed tenant mix,” a Gaw Capital USA statement said. Ovation Hollywood will ultimately remain a shopping and entertainment center, albeit a more diversified one that, according to its developers, better “reflects the modern-day global city that surrounds it,” Gaw’s statement said. Dedicated dining and entertainment space—85,000 square feet and 65,000 square feet, respectively—will also remain. The most notable new addition to the complex will be the conversion of two upper floors, currently home to event space and struggling retail, into commercial office space encompassing a total of 100,000 square feet—about a third of the complex. As noted by the Times, a major goal is to boost the appeal of the complex to Angelenos, which is “no small challenge for a center so devoted to tourism at its inception that it included duty-free shopping.” “Our mantra is, tourists want to go where the locals go,” DJM’s Parton told the Times of a redevelopment strategy that relies less on big-name national chains—specifically eateries—and more on a curated mix of hip, locally beloved bars and restaurants that will serve as natural post-work gathering spots for workers in the new office-dedicated floors, which are aimed at media, tech, and creative industries. Retail offerings will move away from, at least partially, ubiquitous shopping mall staples as well. In the end, the hope is that Hollywood & Highland, long eschewed by locals, will be reborn as a lively town square that’s less a gaudy temple of consumerism and more a multifaceted hub where neighborhood residents and workers can shop, dine, and socialize. And, of course, tourists, who have largely emptied out of Hollywood during the COVID-19 crisis, are more than welcome to join, too.

All phases are currently under construction. Centennial Corridor Phase 1 - Kern River Bridge Improvements This phase constructed new bridges across Truxtun Avenue and the Kern River for the future westbound exit to Mohawk Street and widened the existing eastbound bridges at the Kern River and Truxtun Avenue to accommodate the future Centennial Corridor (State Route 58) mainline. Construction is complete. Centennial Corridor Phase 2 - Belle Terrace Operational Improvements This phase demolished the existing Belle Terrace Overcrossing and replaces it with a structure that meets Caltrans' current vertical clearance requirements. This phase also improves northbound State Route 99 to eastbound State Route 58 traffic flow by reconstructing and widening the freeway connector structure. The new freeway connector bridge opened to traffic in November 2019. Wible Road and Alamo Court were realigned with the project. A retaining wall was built along the outside shoulder of northbound State Route 99. Construction of the Belle Terrace Bridge is underway and is expected to open to traffic in fall 2020. Centennial Corridor Phase 3 - Bakersfield Freeway Connector This phase reconstructs the westbound to southbound connector ramp at the State Route 58/State Route 99 interchange. The project also moves the southbound State Route 99 entrance to the Ming Avenue off-ramp and constructs a barrier-separated connector ramp to Ming Avenue. Construction is underway on the westbound State Route 58 bridge widening, the new Ming Avenue off-ramp, and the westbound-to-southbound connector ramp.

Its goal is to connect the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center in Anaheim and Union Station in Downtown Los Angeles with the Salesforce Transit Center in San Francisco via the Central Valley, providing a one-seat ride between Union Station and San Francisco in 2 hours and 40 minutes, a distance of 380 miles (610 km). Future extensions (in Phase 2) are planned to connect southward to stations in San Diego County via the Inland Empire, as well as northward to Sacramento. It will be implemented in a number of self-supporting segments, as resources become available. CAHSR plans to eventually operate on dedicated, grade-separated tracks for the entirety of its route between San Jose and Burbank with maximum speeds of up to 220 miles per hour (355 km/h). The San Francisco–San Jose and Los Angeles–Anaheim sections will be shared with local trains in a "blended system." The project is owned and managed by the state of California through the California High-Speed Rail Authority (CHSRA). The Bakersfield to Los Angeles segment would be the first instance of a direct passenger train route between the cities since the termination of the Southern Pacific Railroad's San Joaquin Daylight in 1971. The CAHSRA was established by an act of the California State Legislature and tasked with presenting a high-speed rail plan to the voters. This plan, Proposition 1A, was approved by voters in 2008 after the presentation and was assigned a $9 billion bond to begin construction on the initial leg of the network. The project has been widely described as troubled,being far behind schedule and suffering from management turmoil, problems with procuring land, and engineering issues. In addition, the cost of the project has risen from an estimate of $33 billion in 2008 to $80 billion by 2020. According to a poll in June 2021, 42 percent of California voters supported halting the project, while 41 percent supported continuing it. The California High-Speed Rail Authority was established in 1996 after decades of advocacy for building a high speed rail system in California. The passage of Proposition 1A in 2008, followed by the awarding of federal stimulus funds in 2010, established the initial funding for the California High-Speed Rail system. Construction contracts began to be awarded in 2013, and the groundbreaking ceremony for initial construction was held on January 6, 2015. Citing delays and cost overruns and lack of transparency from the project's leadership, Governor Gavin Newsom reaffirmed the state's commitment to the project on February 12, 2019. Newsom said the state will prioritize construction a segment already underway through California's Central Valley, arguing it would revitalize the economically depressed region. The state will complete the planning for the remaining segments and seek federal funds for their construction. He also said he would replace the head of the state board that oversees the project and pledged more accountability for contractors that run over on costs.
