Arroyo Seco Highland Park
River Improvement Overlay (RIO)
Cal Poly Pomona
Urban & Regional Planning Department
Graduate Student Design Project
Fall 2009
Imagine what is possible if the Arroyo Seco became a designated LA-RIO (Los Angeles River Improvement Overlay) Special District under the City of Los Angeles' proposed ordinance.
That's just what a team of Cal Poly Pomona Urban & Regional Planning graduate students, under the direction of Professor Meredith McKenzie, did in the fall of 2009.
We invite your comments and ideas. What do YOU think? Should the Arroyo Seco become an LA-RIO District?
Take a peek at the proposed design options, including watershed, commercial, housing, mobility, and special district elements, all based upon the point system of the LA-RIO.
