The City Council green-lighted a revised plan Wednesday that will guide the physical transformation of the L.A. Zoo and explore the feasibility of expanding transit service to get there.
Raman shared a personal anecdote of how her parents “never really wanted to be out in nature” and how camping was “not part of our cultural tradition.”
However, on behalf of his neighborhood council, Deutsch listed a number of concerns with the revised plan, which included the reduction of waste, the preservation of trees, addressing accessibility and equity and prioritizing animal welfare. “Alternate 1.5 reflects a significant change in the zoo's approach to its vision plan,” the letter reads. “While the document describes this new alternative, it does so in broad and sometimes vague terms, making it challenging and time-consuming to understand the alternative's parameters and differences between it and the previously analyzed alternatives.”
