On Monday, Los Angeles city, county, and state leaders unveiled a vision plan with 47 capital projects that would improve the Sepulveda Basin.
Did you know the Sepulveda Basin located in the middle of the San Fernando Valley is 2,000 acres? That's 2.5 times the size of Central Park in New York City. Pure, green space available to the public.
California Senator Henry Stern presented a check for $2.5 million to kick things off with more funds needed. A focus of the vision plan and some of the projects that could begin within a year center on the 3 miles of the Los Angeles River that pass through the Sepulveda Basin. There's a bike path, but it doesn't connect together. There's also recreation along the river, but it's limited.However, it's not ideal because once you start, you can only go one mile before hitting a barrier.
