I haven't heard anything on this lately, what happened to it?

Fern~Fern* · July 26th, 2007, 05:53 AM

... flush down the toilet!

phattonez · August 26th, 2007, 03:16 AM

I saw some work being done in the river off of the 5 near Elysian Park. Was that part of this project?

^ They were cleaning up some trash and over grown brush to get ready for the rainy season. Usually happens every year or so.....

There's no need to get all wet and excited for nothing!!!

phattonez · August 26th, 2007, 08:17 AM

And that's why they were digging into the cement?

Fern~Fern* · August 26th, 2007, 10:18 AM

Possible repairs that were well overdue, that's it*

phattonez · August 27th, 2007, 12:12 AM

Why so negative Fern?

All I'm doing is preventing you from getting to excited over a minor repair, that's it. You know, just being a pal!

phattonez · August 27th, 2007, 01:42 AM

Well, I'm not getting excited, but I hope that it's a part of this plan.

Fern~Fern* · August 27th, 2007, 01:55 AM

Know you now that is construction was to start that they would tons of news about it. Especially with such an important project in Los Angeles. Don't you think???

*%#^#$)*@...

anakinFromCoruscant · August 27th, 2007, 08:41 AM

well its gonna take about 25 to 50 years to be complete....

phattonez · August 28th, 2007, 12:44 AM

So then they better get started soon.

^ Yeah we know that already.... what I'm getting at is that if this mega project has commence, do you not think it would be all over the airwaves and newspapers? This is something huge to by pass any media radars.

It's just that some newbie Bruin, no names. Has to stop jumping to conclusions over a minor drill. Although lately has been a bit analish and whatnot.

I also look forward for this project to get started since it's way over due!

well your Right.. and about taking 50 years .. Um I disagree.. because come on... its not THAT huge... but the sooner the better...

I have no idea what this project is, what's included in it, what it's purpose is. If there is a lot of rain, will this project remain intact, or will it be flushed away?

milquetoast · August 28th, 2007, 06:54 AM

Wow! I guess I should have read the first post! Seems like a mature way to deal with flood control, and would certainly develop the 'weak' part of the downtown area. Kind of like setting a controlled burn of developement that will move its way westward and meet the construction in South Park and along the 110. Where will the railways go?

phattonez · August 28th, 2007, 07:47 AM

Ferney, you know that I'm not analish, I wasn't here. With a project that takes this long, would there really be a commencement?

Well if this isn't it then it needs to start soon, especially in downtown.

I'm not sure how new this information is but I found it while looking through SOM's site:

Los Angeles River - A Plan for the Next 100 Years

Los Angeles, California

For sheer environmental, cultural, and recreational benefit, few projects match the potential of an ecology-minded and people-centric revitalization of the Los Angeles River. By utilizing a balance of advanced engineering and imaginative planning, the LA River can be of comparable civic worth to New York’s Central Park, Chicago’s Grant Park, or Washington’s Rock Creek Park. The sustainable concepts for LA River were developed in collaboration with Gehry Partners and Bruce Mau Design.

The LA River should be redirected Westward so it goess through the city.
