Designing Cities 2018: Los Angeles Schedule Follow the River: Taylor Yard and Los Angeles River Revitalization

Follow the River: Taylor Yard and Los Angeles River Revitalization

Oct 03, 2018
10/3/18 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Los Angeles, CA

Everyone knows the LA River. You may remember the large, trapezoid-shaped concrete river bed, topped with rows of high voltage power lines from such films as Grease and Terminator II. Channelized mostly in the 1930s, the once meandering LA River is experiencing a rebirth. Agencies up and down the river are working to bring nature and people back to the river. On this WalkShop, see two parcels – one owned by the City of Los Angeles, and one by the State of California – that were purchased under the vision of the LA River Revitalization Master Plan. Today, one section is under remediation, and the other is host to numerous public art features, camping nights, cultural events, and runs. Bonus: we’ll start at neighborhood favorite, Salazar’s, just across the Fletcher Drive historic bridge.


This WalkShop is sponsored by WSP.
