POSTPONED - SPEED HUMP APPLICATIONS OPENS WEDNESDAY, 9/16 AT 8AM SHARP!

UPDATE!  At this time, this "Cycle 7" application process has been postponed and will reopen as soon as funding for the program is more certain. In short, this portal to intake requests will NOT be available at 8:00 a.m. on Wednesday, September 16, 2020 as previously anticipated.

This is not a decision the Department came to easily, and we understand the timing is difficult. However, we do not want to mislead the public by accepting applications we may not be able to fund construction thereafter.

This postponement does not affect previously approved applications, and we will continue to prioritize outstanding applications as funding becomes available.

LADOT remains committed to ensuring the continued delivery of essential services during the COVID-19 pandemic. For latest updates please visit our website at ladot.lacity.org.
