Though its terrazzo sidewalks and stars show off the glitz of Los Angeles to the world, the Hollywood Walk of Fame often feels decidedly short on glamour of its own.
That may change under a new makeover proposed for the iconic boulevard.
Los Angeles City Councilman Mitch O’Farrell unveiled a 90-page proposal on Thursday aimed at creating a less gritty, more welcoming atmosphere for the millions of tourists who visit the Walk of Fame each year.
