As part of the consulting team responsible for preparation of the Los Angeles River Revitalization Master Plan, Wenk Associates led conceptual design elements along the river's edge for the 32-mile river corridor. The plan focuses on making the river corridor a green amenity for the City, identifying opportunities to modify and green the channel while preserving or enhancing flood control functions; enhancing natural systems and ecological value; providing additional parks, natural open space and a continuous greenway trail; and providing opportunities for development to orient toward the river. The Plan is intended to be a 25 to 50-year blueprint for implementing comprehensive improvements that would make the River one of the City's most treasured landmarks and a catalyst for a sustainable environment.
