The Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is now available for the LA River Path project – access the full report here.
The LA River Path would provide a continuous, dedicated space for walking and biking along the LA River through Elysian Valley, Cypress Park, Lincoln Heights, Chinatown, Downtown Los Angeles, the Arts District, Boyle Heights, Vernon and Maywood – many of these communities lack access to safe and convenient walking and cycling opportunities.
In addition, the project would close the eight-mile gap in the current walking/bike path between Elysian Valley and Maywood and would result in a continuous 32-mile path between the San Fernando Valley and Long Beach. That would also provide for safer routes for non-drivers of all ages and improve access to jobs, schools, healthcare, parks and provide investments in equity-focused communities.
