  Los Angeles Business Journal: Sports arena could boost downtown's retail sector - Downtown, Los Angeles sports arena - ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Figueroa is 'the major entranceway into the heart of downtown, and links together what we think of as the southern part of downtown - USC and Expo Park - to the financial core,' said Carol Schatz, president of the Central City Association.
The problem with Figueroa, according to the Kosmont analysis, is that the area inspires "single-purpose trips," such as attending events at the Convention Center or the Coliseum or Exposition Park.
The vision of the Figueroa Corridor, says Rodriguez, is to encourage longer visits in the area, in which people undertake several activities, such as having a meal or shopping in addition to a visit to the Convention Center or the museums in Exposition Park.

 THE STREET RAILWAY HISTORY OF LOS ANGELES
The route from Washington and Main Streets via Washington to Figueroa to Jefferson was discontinued in 1892, and the franchise abandoned on account of the expense entailed by the paving of Figueroa Street.
The third section was opened from Main and Requena Streets to North Broadway and Workman Streets, Nov. 1, 1889; from Seventh Street and Grand Avenue to Jefferson Street and Grand Avenue, in November, 1889; and from Seventh Street and Grand Avenue to Seventh and Alvarado Streets, December 9, 1889.
Street railways in Los Angeles in those days were anything but a safe investment, and although we find that almost all the lines of the city are now (1921) under one control they still were not successful financially.

 Los Angeles Business Journal: Downtown L.A.'s new financial heart - Los Angeles, California - California   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The prominent Figueroa Street named after the former Mexican governor of California, was once a small residential community located on the outskirts of what was then the financial center located on Spring Street.
Soon Spring, from 3rd Street to 8th Street, was lined by columns of buildings thirteen-stories high, reaching the maximum height of 150 feet allowed by city ordinance.
The growth of the Figueroa corridor as the current financial center can be attributed to the many changes of the 1950s and 1960s, which helped to ignite the financial district's shift from Spring Street located in the northeastern part of downtown Los Angeles to its current location on Figueroa.
