City of Los Angeles-The Green Blue City One Water Program, Part 5 of 5: Los Angeles River Revitalization, Big Picture-One Water System
In 2007 the City of Los Angeles published a master plan for revitalizing the Los Angeles River corridor. This plan showed a vision for modifications to the river to achieve multiple benefits and revitalize the land around the river. The Los Angeles River along the planning corridor is generally concrete lined, either along the bottom and sides or along the sides. Adjacent to the river are industrial properties—many of which are underutilized—railroad alignments, and streets. The general planning vision was to modify channel cross sections where possible to reduce water velocities, allow for retention of water to provide recreational and habitat spaces, acquire adjacent property to provide attractive recreational features to increase activities, and provide planning guidance for private development of other parcels that would revitalize the river corridor. In total 32 miles of river corridor are within the revitalization plan.
