CalTrans and the City of Los Angeles are seriously considering a proposal to cap the 101 trench in downtown LA with a beautiful urban park. The new park would stitch together the downtown area, allow increased pedestrian access and add some mixed-use development to invigorate the area. A community meeting to discuss the proposal is set for May.

As cool as this may be, it makes me angry that the city is considering this in times like these. They should rather hire thousands of teachers and create dozens of smaller neighborhood parks throughout the city instead of focusing on one singular fancy project.
a lot of hot air.. i say, get on the line of lo-buzz pitches guys. remember the cornfields and hollywood freeway parks?
oh boy, oh boy! city is walking thin line not to lay off 4000 employees at the moment, cal trans can't fix the potholes on freeways, arts high school around the corner can't function due to staffing shortage, bunker hill condo developments declared dead, and the list goes on... yet we have renderings and green washers behind every corporate beautification euphoria.. 101 swings! waste of energy of real people trying to get smaller but doable projects done. what's new? inhabitat is detached porn, again.
