Projects Progress in Lincoln Heights and Santa Monica
January 29, 2012 § 2 Comments
Demolition underway at the 6.3-acre Albion Dairy site in Lincoln Heights. Photos taken looking downstream from the North Spring Street Bridge. The existing Downey Recreation Center park (with green lawn) is visible on the far left. The Los Angeles River is on the right, with the North Main Street Bridge visible.
I recently spotted a couple of projects that L.A. Creek Freak has reported on that are now making on-the-ground progress. In Lincoln Heights (photo above) the Albion Dairy site industrial buildings and parking lot are well on their way to being completely demolished. Information on that planned L.A. River park here. In Santa Monica (photo below) the Ocean Park Boulevard green street project is under construction. Information on that complete street project (including its green bike lanes) here.
Construction underway on the city of Santa Monica's Ocean Park Boulevard complete green street project
Taylor Yard and Piggyback Yard, if realized in addition to the park, will make for one hell of a major greenway and greenspace. Thanks for the updates.
Bike Lanes?! Yay
