Case Study: Transit Oriented Development at Vermont and Manchester – Where Education, Mobility, Housing and Commerce Will Converge
The mixed-use development on the corner of Vermont and Manchester in South Los Angeles is an unprecedented project for the community and the region. On the north side of the block, the SEED School of Los Angeles will soon educate 400 high schoolers , not only preparing them for college, but through a unique partnership with LA Metro and the County of Los Angeles, for careers in the transportation sector. Right next door, 180 units of affordable housing, retail and a Metro-operated job training center will be constructed. Come learn about the project, how it changed the paradigm for what transit-oriented development can be in LA, and what lessons have been learned in the process.
