Residents from East LA Seek Recreational Opportunities Along the LA River

Share On Social!

According to the City Project blog, in July 2013, residents from the neighborhoods adjacent to the Northeast Riverfront in Los Angeles attended a forum to help plan improvements along the LA river.

Among the things requested by residents were more open space, clean air and waters, multi-use projects, educational programs, more trees, bike lanes, and soccer fields.

The workshop was the first in a series of workshops provided through the Northeast Los Angeles (NELA) Riverfront Collaborative, that locals will have the opportunity of attending.

Future meetings for the Policy Engagement Schedule include workshops in:

• Food Policy
• Workforce Development & Jobs 
• Planning & Mobility
• Sustainable Economic Development
