| Extending 51-mile in length, the Los Angeles River serves as an icon of connected open space that supports native habitats, recreation pockets, multi-use trails, and cultural nodes, improving health, equity, access, mobility, and economic opportunity for the diverse population of LA County and, all the while, helping with flood control. Though fragmented by jurisdictions and land ownership, the city's LA River Master Plan seeks to channelize a multifaceted opportunity to make the tangible and equitable growth of the dispersed community become a woven reality.
As part of this larger ambition to re-imagine the river as a sharing channel of culture, infrastructure, and nature, this project aspires to implement a community-healing park promenade along Parcel 13, Central Plain, incorporating a natural/recreational corridor with local community centers that runs right beneath the utility grid, potentially expanding across the city as far as the line reaches. |
