A Central Park for Los Angeles

Los Angeles hasn’t done a great job of this in the past, but now there’s an ambitiuos proposal on the table: putting a massive park on top of a below-grade section of the 101 freeway in the heart of downtown.

Could it work in Los Angeles? Well, the Park 101 plan seems to have real momentum. The California Department of Transportation is on board and the design firm Aecom is putting together the designs. CalTrans his holding a public meeting on the idea on May 13.
