The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) invites the public to attend virtual meetings on September 29 and October 1 for an update on the L.A. River Path Project, which proposes to bridge an eight-mile gap in the L.A. River Path between Elysian Valley, downtown Los Angeles and Maywood through downtown LA and the City of Vernon.
Closing this gap will make it easier to get around the eight-mile biking and walking path along the L.A. River between Elysian Valley and Vernon. The overall L.A. River Path will create a safe and efficient active transportation travel option connecting the San Fernando Valley and Long Beach. The project has $365 million in funding from Measure M.
Meetings will be hosted via Zoom and video recordings will be available on the project’s website following each meeting. The public will also have an opportunity to ask questions and share comments with staff at both meetings.
All meetings will be broadcasted simultaneously in Spanish.
