An estimated 10 million people visit the Walk of Fame each year, making it one of Southern California's most popular attractions.

"In a city that has lost so much of its past, the Hollywood Walk of Fame not only memorializes entertainment's biggest stars, the walk itself is now a part of our history and a key driver of Hollywood's turnaround," said Councilman Eric Garcetti, whose district includes the Walk of Fame.
