Let the River Flow
It always astounds me that decades after L.A. realized its river was nothing more than an eyesore-- particularly thanks to the concrete lining that makes it one big ditch-- nothing has been done to change it.
Sure, there are a few beautification projects underway, but nothing significant has changed yet.
The most hopeful change, suggested by the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy, calls for widening the river from Glendale to the 10, and incorporating a so-called "greenbelt" along with the planned Taylor Yard and Cornfield state parks. But as the Conservancy exec director tells the L.A. Times, it's going to take at least 20 years.
