LA River Proposal Recommendations Passed By City Council

Tierra West is excited to announce the passing of our recommendations for the LA River Project by the Los Angeles city council.

The NELA Riverfront District Vision Plan comes out of the community engagement activities and celebrate the NELA riverfront neighborhoods of Atwater Village, Cypress Park, Elysian Valley, Glassell Park, and Lincoln Heights. The Vision Plan documents ideas we heard from the community to improve the NELA Riverfront area and recommendations that we feel can effectively deliver these improvements to the L.A. River and its surrounding Northeast Los Angeles riverfront neighborhoods. Download the Vision Plan
