3rd Street (Los Angeles)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Third Street in Los Angeles is a major east-west thoroughfare. It begins in downtown Beverly Hills by Santa Monica Boulevard and ends at Alameda Street in Downtown Los Angeles. East of Alameda it becomes Fourth Street, where it heads to East Los Angeles, where it turns back into 3rd Street upon crossing Indiana Street. Third Street eventually becomes Pomona Boulevard in Monterey Park, where it finally ends at the Pomona Freeway (SR 60).[1]
Third Street passes along the south side of the The Grove and "The Original" Farmers Market at Fairfax Avenue, near the headquarters of The Writers Guild of America, West. There are also many other restaurants, boutiques, and antique stores on this specific strip of 3rd Street, which is less upscale and more relaxed than nearby Robertson Boulevard and Melrose Avenue.[2]
Third Street is parallel to two other major thoroughfares, Wilshire Boulevard to the south and Beverly Boulevard to the north. It is four lanes wide east of Doheny Drive, and passes through the same communities as Wilshire Boulevard.
Metro Local lines 16 and 316 (on west 3rd Street) serve 3rd Street, as well as Montebello Bus Lines line 40 (on east 3rd Street).
The Metro Gold Line runs on 3rd Street from Indiana Station to Atlantic Station.
