A Comment for the L.A. River Master Plan
Five themes proposed to achieve justice and sustainability for the Los Angeles River and its surrounding communities. May 3, 2021, 8am PDT | Richard Dion Share
The draft Los Angeles River Master Plan recently completed public comment. The draft is a very informative and accessible document, which lays out, and tries to address, some of the largest challenges facing the river.
Key issues (some included in the Master Plan, some not) that public officials and private investors should consider while finalizing this plan include:
Managing knowledge
Promoting transparency and monitoring
Addressing these challenges and mitigating negative impacts will transform the L.A. River and ensure a sustainable and just river for the coming generations.
“Tom was so much more than a councilperson. He was 24/7 working for L.A. with tireless energy,” wrote Gerry Hans, president of the community organization Friends of Griffith Park, to KCET. LaBonge first worked for Mayor Tom Bradley’s youth program in 1974. Two years later, he was hired by Councilwoman Peggy Stevenson and, four years later, he went on to serve Councilman John Ferraro. He ran for city council in 1993 but lost. Instead, he became an aide to Mayor Richard Riordan. In 2000, he was hired by the Department of Water and Power. Eventually, in 2001, he was elected to the Los Angeles City Council, where he served until 2015.
