Celebrating Women's History Month
March marks the commemoration of Women's History Month. In the coming weeks, LADOT will highlight women who have made significant contributions to the field of transportation in Los Angeles and beyond in both in our contemporary time and throughout the history of our city.

Marilyn Jorgenson Reece
As the first woman to receive a license as a civil engineer in California, Marilyn Jorgenson Reece played an integral role in designing roadway systems to facilitate heavy volume and high velocity travel. Though her engineering career included numerous transportation projects, Reece is best known for her design of the interchange at the 405 and 10 freeways in west Los Angeles, for which she received the Governor's Design Excellence Award from California Governor Edmund "Pat" Brown in 1962. As a transportation engineer, Reece's career accomplishments extend beyond her own lifetime and live on as an exemplary inspiration for others.

City Street Sweeping Moves to Biweekly Schedule
Effective Monday, March 1, 2021, the City of Los Angeles has modified the city street sweeping schedule, with sweeping routes now being swept every other week rather than once per week. Moving forward, biweekly neighborhood routes will be swept on either the first and third weeks of the month or the second and fourth weeks, and will be performed on the days indicated by posted signs. To assist with this effort, LADOT traffic officers will enforce street sweeping only on days that sweeping occurs. Posted signs that indicate street sweeping days will not be altered. Residents may view their street’s biweekly schedule and sign up to receive street sweeping notifications by visiting streetsla.lacity.org/sweeping.
