The Wrigley Greenbelt Project, which stretches from DeForest Avenue from 26th Way to 34th Street along the eastern side of the 710 Freeway, launched in 2007 with the intention of restoring and preserving the open space. Other planned benefits, officials said during a presentation this week, include improved pedestrian connectivity along the Los Angeles River, and improving air quality from green buffers along the I-710 corridor.
Currently, the space, officials say, is filled with old or dead trees that will be replaced by mostly smaller, younger trees in its place at a 2-to-1 ratio. The trees, officials say, also need to be removed so that it can make way for the project’s layout.
