If you love the Westside but just can't deal with the parking, one of the area's coolest stretches is getting a brilliant facelift to satisfy car-free shoppers.

Our sister site Curbed LA reports that the plan is called Lincoln Neighborhood Corridor or LiNC (not to be confused with the street's existing nickname) aims to add elements like dedicated peak-hour bus lanes, more crosswalks, nicer landscaping, street furniture, and better sidewalk lighting to the street" in an effort to "cut down on conflicts between people in cars, on bikes, and on foot."

Plans aren't set in stone, but Curbed adds that "early designs will be presented to Santa Monica's Planning Commission next week," so there's that. Check out renderings of the proposal here.
