LOS ANGELES COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS

The San Gabriel Valley Greenway Network Strategic Implementation Plan will transform our watershed into an interconnected network of 130 miles of bike paths, trails, and greenspaces for everyone in the San Gabriel Valley... In 2017, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors passed a resolution "to create a countywide network of interconnected, multi-use community greenways" by transforming the storm channels, washes, and creeks that feed into the San Gabriel and Rio Hondo Rivers into a modernized network of bicycle and pedestrian pathways in the San Gabriel Valley... Los Angeles County created flood control channels-made of concrete and rock along much of the lower San Gabriel and Rio Hondo Rivers and connected creeks and washes-after several serious floods in the early 1900s.
