Pacoima Council Set to Back Wash Greenway Project

The Pacoima Neighborhood Council is scheduled to vote June 17 on a letter of support for the Pacoima Wash Greenway. The project would transform a 4-mile stretch of the Pacoima Wash into a public trail, connecting residents to parks, community gardens, and open space.

The Pacoima Wash drains a 54 square-mile watershed from the San Gabriel Mountains to the L.A. River through communities the agenda letter describes as densely populated, low-income, heat-burdened, and among the most polluted in the state. The channel is currently a fenced concrete flood control structure with bare embankments that range from 12 to 75 feet wide and are prone to illegal dumping.

The support letter, if approved, would back an application by Pacoima Beautiful to the Safe Clean Water L.A. Program. The funding would pay for design work on stormwater improvements, a bicycle and pedestrian trail, neighborhood connections, shade, and subsurface stormwater filtration. The draft letter calls the project nearly two decades in development.

The council meets at the Pacoima Community Center, 11243 Glenoaks Blvd, on June 17 at 6:30 p.m.
