L.A. River renovation presentation 6/17 and 6/18

Via email, there will be a presentation concerning L.A. River renovation Tuesday and Wednesday:

The Harvard University Graduate School of Design Los Angeles River Studio presentation schedule is as follows:

Tuesday, June 17th 6:30-reception-7pm 9pm-presentations, Los Angeles River Center and Gardens, 570 West Avenue 26

Wednesday, June 18th-10am-11:30am Los Angeles River Center and Gardens, 570 West Avenue 26

Wednesday, June 18th, 12:30-2pm-Los Angeles County Department of Public Works building, conference room A, 900 S. Fremont, Alhambra

The variety of times and locations is to accommodate as many people as possible. Each presentation will be similar in nature.

I might go to one of these, and, if so, I'll be kind enough to report on it here.

However, why the gosh darn heck do we need a bunch of East Coasters to help renovate a Los Angeles river? I dunno, but as this blurb says, they've got a scheme:

Design Students Display Visions for L.A, River — Their ideas, including parkland, housing and an urban lake, have no price tags and would take decades to realize.
Jan 23, Los Angeles Times, by Kenneth Reich, Times Staff Writer
A team of 12 students from the Harvard University Graduate School of Design has developed a scheme for transforming four miles of the Los Angeles River into a river park.
