VARIOUS OTHER PROGRAMS THAT SERVE THE MISSION OF RIVER LAHEADWATERS AREA PROJECT (HAP)River LA is instrumental in the community outreach and engagement for the HAP.Located at the confluence of Bell Creek and Arroyo Calabasas, Canoga Park presents a significant opportunity to reimagine the Los Angeles River as a shared cultural, ecological, and infrastructural resource for adjacent communities in relation to the goals of the forthcoming 2020 LA River Master Plan. The area faces hydraulic challenges related to flood risk reduction, as the channel is only estimated to have flood conveyance capacity for a 2% (50 year) event, significant issues with water quality, and a critical lack of parks and open space. Canoga Park is identified as a Major Project Zone in the Master Plan and was commissioned to explore large scale feasibility for project development across the study area.RESILIENT RIO 51RESILIENT RIO 51 WHICH IS A PROGRAM FOR UNDESERVED YOUTH WHO LIVE IN COMMUNITIES ADJACENT TO THE LA RIVER.

RIO VISTAS PARKLETS DEVELOPMENTStreet ends by the LA River are public rights-of-way that can be transformed for aesthetic, recreational, and environmental benefit. As outlined in by the LA River Revitalization Master Plan, more than 300 streets intersect with the LA River. Many of these cul de sacs are unmarked, overgrown, derelict, or have unauthorized private encroachments.River LA worked with LA River High School students to engage the community and document their vision to convert these neglected street ends into community assets. And, based upon feedback from the community engagement process, LA River High School students applied classroom learning to design and develop the conceptual plans for the pilot Rio Vistas that will be scaled across all 51-miles . Improving street ends will reorient neighborhoods towards the LA River, open up access to the existing bike path, and allow for enjoyment of waterfront open space. Projects will include installing green infrastructure, improving pathways, benches, and adding low-maintenance, drought-resistant plantings .Rio Vistas is part of an exciting Greenway 2020 campaign to build a continuous greenway along the full 51-mile length of the LA River, from Canoga Park in the Valley to Long Beach.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2021 – Jun 30, 2022Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$69KMulti-Use Hub Development
