New Public Stairway Opens on Elysian Heights Hillside

A new set of stairs offers developed access to a hillside trail in Elysian Heights.

Elysian Height's newest set of public hillside stairs were recently opened, offering developed access to a local trail.

The stairs, which were opened with the help of local Councilman Mitch O'Farrell and Planet Home Living last week, begin near 2400 block of Allesandro Street and serve as the entry to the Artis Trail.

The stairs run adjacent to a new development of small lot homes known as Artis.

At the entrance to the stairs, an information sign features a QR code that can be scanned with a smartphone. When scanned, the code takes the user to a map of all public stairs in the area courtesy of the Historic Echo Park website.

At the top of the stairs, the Artis Trail offers views towards the mountains as well as a chance to see native plants.
