We’re happy to report that L.A. Live, the Staples Center adjacent sports and entertainment campus that is home to the Grammy Museum, Nokia Theater, Regal Cinemas, and a variety of restaurants will soon be getting some much needed additional bicycle parking. We have been working with AEG, the developer of the site, to find the best possible locations for our inverted U-racks in order to serve the campus’ restaurants and other entertainment offerings. These new business adjacent bike racks will provide convenient, safe, and secure short term bicycle parking for L.A. Live establishments along Olympic Blvd., Figueroa St., and Chick Hearn Ct. More on the new racks and on bike parking at L.A. Live below the fold.
For longer term bike parking, L.A. Live offers bike racks located in their East Garage off of Olympic Blvd. and Francisco St. The racks are located on the left just off the ramp into the parking garage. The bicycle parking space offers a variety of racks to suit your preference.
Newly Marked Racks
Our newly marked racks should be installed sometime within the next month. In total, we were able to mark 10 racks on the L.A. Live campus last week. LA Live staff are also working on moving some planters so as to provide space for 5 more racks. Remember that you can always request new places to add bike parking through our Sidewalk Parking Program! Check out the preliminary list of bike rack locations at L.A. Live below.
List of Locations:
- Yard House – 1 rack (2 more nearby are on the way)
- Trader Vic’s – 1 rack (1 more nearby is on the way)
- The Farm of Beverly Hills Restaurant – 2 racks (2 more nearby are on the way)
- Lawry’s – 1 rack
- New Zealand Natural – 1 rack
- ESPN Zone – 2 racks
- Regal Cinemas – 2 racks
Good.
How about also using the new racks to place a sign saying “additional bike parking available in the garage”
Hey that’s my friend and I riding our bike to Venice Beach! We used the Expo Line Bikeway after seeing the video on your blog and then we took Venice Blvd. LOL

Agreed with JJJ. Have to wonder how many people have looked elsewhere to park their bike because they didn’t know that there were any racks in the garage.
The form for the sidewalk parking request looks like you need to be the owner or manager of the business in order to request parking. Is that right, or am I just confused when it asks for the contact information for the business?
I was going to put in a request for some bike parking at Disney Hall – last time I went to a concert there and asked one of the staff outside where I could park, he said I should just lock up to a pedestrian railing, which seemed un-ADA-friendly to me. I didn’t see any other options though.
Hi Kenny,
Anyone can request bicycle parking for a business, but we do like to ask the business owner before we fill the request to make sure that the rack won’t block their loading/deliveries, etc. With regards to the Concert Hall, feel free to request it and we’ll try our best to make sure it goes in.
