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.”
Special Meeting: A Green Community Plan for Downtown Los Angeles
Special Meeting: SDAT & The Community Planning Process
Join us Monday, July 12 at 6:30pm at the DLANC Office (453 S. Spring Street, Suite 1020) for a meeting on the SDAT - the Sustainable Design Assessment Team recommendations for our neighborhood. We have the final report from the national team of experts who visited Downtown Los Angeles last November 2009 and it is time to begin planning the next steps of the planning process - community outreach and involvement. Whether you are familiar with this project or not, if you're interested in the future of our neighborhood, you are welcome to attend!
Check out the report online - and see what some experts think our neighborhood council can do - and how we can create a vision for the future of our neighborhood. http://www.aia.org/about/initiatives/AIAS075426
