101 FREEWAY INTERCHANGE PROPOSED “CAP” PARK
Environmental activists and community planners are proposing placing a two-thirds-mile-long deck (“cap”) across the 101 Freeway in downtown LA to create a 100-acre park which would include an amphitheater, walkways and rolling landscape with a ridge line trail. They also plan for over a million square feet of mixed-use development along the freeway area. Total cost is projected at $700 million. Think of it as the reversal of the Joni Mitchell song lyrics “paving over paradise with a parking lot.”
How to plant a tree Downtown - A Sustainability Committee Guide to Tree Planting
More trees = more shade = more livable
As part of our ongoing effort to provide the Downtown Los Angeles community with tools and resources to foster a culture of sustainability, we are thrilled to announce the launch of the Tree Planting Guide. In 2009, we conducted a pilot project in Skid Row to see what needed to be done to start and implement a successful tree planting initiative and have provided you with a step-by-step resource if you would like to do the same. Let us know if you have any comments or questions by emailing us at sustainability@dlanc.com or checking our website www.downtownsustainability.com for more information.
