Environmental & Community Impact

The LA River and Bike Path, along with the parks along it, is an extremely important resource for park-poor Angelenos - especially communities of color, who often do not have the ability to reach other natural public lands. Small businesses will also be positively affected by this project, helping to create a thriving community along the river.

We will work with environmental groups and experts to ensure our project does not disturb the wildlife or ecosystem of the river. We aim to work with professionals to decrease water toxicity.

We want to clean up and revitalize the Bike Path ASAP, so community members, families, cyclists, birdwatchers and the like can enjoy it right now.
