Westwood Village is now officially home to the largest pedestrian plaza in the city of Los Angeles.
On Saturday, Feb. 22, hundreds of Bruins, local business owners, policymakers, and residents and their families gathered for a street party and ribbon-cutting ceremony trumpeting the opening of Broxton Plaza, the 14,000-square-foot, car-free commercial stretch in the heart of the neighborhood that features al fresco dining, live music, movies, street markets and other events.
During an afternoon of speeches and performances by the UCLA Marching Band and Spirit Squad, guests posed for selfies with Joe and Josie Bruin and sampled fare and wares from Broxton Plaza restaurants and shops while children played games, roller-skated, painted pottery and zipped up and down the street on scooters.
