Highland Avenue

Highland Avenue is a major north-south street in Los Angeles that runs from Cahuenga Boulevard to Wilshire Boulevard through multiple neighborhoods with four traffic lanes. The avenue passes through several distinct districts, serving as a key transportation corridor in the area.

The avenue was named after Highland Mary Price, a Hollywood resident who died in 1901 and left an imprint on the area's early identity. This naming honors one of the district's early figures from that formative period.

The Hollywood and Highland intersection serves as a gathering point where people come to experience the area's connection to film and music. You can sense the entertainment industry's influence simply by walking through this busy district.

The street offers access to several transportation options including the B Line metro station and DASH bus services. Both pedestrians and drivers can navigate the area easily using these connected transport routes.

The street's median parkway features palm trees planted in 1928 that were later recognized as a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument. These trees form a defining visual element along the route that reflects the area's design legacy.
