Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass on June 17 lifted a curfew in the city’s downtown area following a decline in the protests, violence, and vandalism that had disrupted the neighborhood.

The decision came just a day after Bass pushed back the curfew’s start time to 10 p.m., allowing businesses to stay open longer. The curfew originally ran from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., covering roughly a square-mile area that included the Arts District and Chinatown.
