Recognizing the Grand Axis that is Grand Park

Los Angeles' GRAND PARK sits within the middle of LA's civic buildings in a grand linear axis that makes for a great walk.

However, that walk is one-sided because it slopes steeply downhill in the direction of the arrow.  Walking from the top of the hill (DWP / Music Center) the steepness is disguised because the park is broken up into three parts separated by busy streets.

 Walking in this direction the route is also marked by an iconic building at the end -- LA's City Hall.  City Hall provides a clear direction to the east end of this Grand Axis.

Walking in the other direction, however, is another story.  Not only is it uphill but the end is not clear even though it's worth the journey.  At the end is the DWP building and in front of it, but barely visible, the Music Center.

To get to the top there are many stairs

And other obstacles

But at the western end of the Grand Axis there are rewards such as fountains and downtown views and the Music Center Plaza

The Grand Axis that is Grand Park is likely to change in the future.   Some County buildings need earthquake repairs and there is already an area for a park addition at its lower end that could bend the axis.  While the Grand Axis of Paris may have been planned the Grand Axis of LA is almost accidental and should be recognized and enhanced.  Suggestions welcomed.
