On September 22, I had the privelege of hosting a program in downtown LA on private/public private partnerships for open space in a city that is home to over 6500 lineal miles of road and 900 miles of alleys but in which over 2/3 of children are not within walking distance of a park. Panelists included Richard Loring who discussed his innovative Formosa 1140 project which includes a neighborhood pocket park, Alfred Fraijo, a land use attorney with Allen Matkins discussing plans for the Hollywood Freeway Central (Cap) Park, and Sarah MacPherson with the Hollywood Property Owners Alliance discussing the greening of alleyways in Hollywood. One of the highlights of the event included display of presentation boards and a concept model of the Park 101 Freeway Cap Park provided by EDAW.
