LA River Path: Closing the Gap

August 8, 2019/by Kevin Claxton

Everyone knows the LA River. You may remember the large, trapezoid-shaped concrete river bed, topped with rows of high voltage power lines from such films as Grease and Terminator II. Mostly channelized in the 1930s, the once meandering LA River is experiencing a rebirth. Agencies up and down the river are working to bring nature and people back to the river. One project, funded by Measure M and breaking ground in 2023, will enable recreational and transportation use of the river by closing an 8-mile gap to create a 32-mile-long continuous bike path, completely separated from automobile traffic. The project will not just knit together the path – it will connect all of the communities in between. Elysian Valley, Union Station (Los Angeles’ regional transit hub), Boyle Heights, Vernon and Maywood will be connected by the completed path. Join us on a ride of the existing LA River Path to discuss the opportunities and challenges of closing the gap.

This tour is limited to the first 40 riders who register via Eventbrite.

Walking Tour of Downtown LA

August 8, 2019/by Kevin Claxton
Downtown LA is the intersection of the history, culture and community that brought forth and continue to form this amazing city. Leaving the Community Foundation, we will walk through Olvera Street and briefly explore the museums at El Pueblo de los Angeles. We will continue along Main Street and through the Rotunda at Los Angeles City Hall. Exiting the Spring Street steps, we will walk two blocks west through Grand Park and then cut over to the Cathedral. From the Cathedral we will continue along Grand Avenue, stop at the brand new Music Center plaza and go on to the Walt Disney Concert Hall, where we will explore the hidden garden. We will take Angel’s Flight down the hill to Grand Central Market for refreshments. We will end with a walk through the Bradbury Building, where the tour will end.
This tour is limited to the first 10 people who register via Eventbrite.
