LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles City Council passed two motions Tuesday aimed at improving and expanding park space and furthering the goals outlined in Mayor Eric Garcetti’s “Achieving Park Equity” executive directive.
Garcetti’s directive, signed on Dec. 6, orders the development of an independent analysis into the city’s parks and a plan to improve equitable access. The recommendations are being created by a group consisting of city department leadership, local park experts and community members. The second park-related motion scheduled to be considered by the City Council on Tuesday was introduced by Councilman John Lee and instructs the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power to work with Recreation and Parks on a plan to identify and convert appropriate DWP property into “passive recreation and open space.”
