Downtown’s Rejuvenation Well Underway As you are probably well aware, the aesthetic transformation of Downtown Paramount is in full swing. Pardon our dust and excuse the narrowing of the boulevard to a single lane on both the northbound and southbound sides. This is only temporary during the construction phase. The City’s dramatic rebuilding of our main business district running between Jackson St. and Alondra Blvd. is creating a fresh identity for Downtown Paramount. A “Boulevard of Gardens” using drought-tolerant plants will be grown along the
thoroughfare (planting began at the start of June). As you can tell while driving along Paramount Blvd, the sidewalks are being widened and the formerly mounded planting areas are being flattened for the new landscaping design. Fresh signage will unify the downtown thematically and new banners will decorate the light poles. Everything should be finished by Labor Day, which will be here quicker than it seems. Then the new downtown Paramount, in all its lush, pedestrian-friendly beautification, will be a reality.
