101 FREEWAY INTERCHANGE PROPOSED “CAP” PARK
Environmental activists and community planners are proposing placing a two-thirds-mile-long deck (“cap”) across the 101 Freeway in downtown LA to create a 100-acre park which would include an amphitheater, walkways and rolling landscape with a ridge line trail. They also plan for over a million square feet of mixed-use development along the freeway area. Total cost is projected at $700 million. Think of it as the reversal of the Joni Mitchell song lyrics “paving over paradise with a parking lot.”
