Los Angeles River Series #7
(2019)
South of Atwater Village are the Riverglen Apartments. Although the apartments appear to overlook the river, due to a foreshortening of the painted scene, these apartments are actually more distant. Several noisy highways and numerous obstacles make actual river access difficult-to-impossible.
In 2020, the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy released a draft of ULART (the Upper Los Angeles River Tributaries Revitalization Plan) that aspires to improve river access and environmental functionality while maintaining important flood control features along the river. Hopefully one day there will be actually be housing along the banks of a revitalized Los Angeles River where both wildlife and residents can enjoy the river’s beauty.
