before,� Chi said. �We�ve never had such a victory. And now, every

width="300" height="225"></SPAN>The Los Angeles River stretches 52
miles through diverse communities from Canoga Park in the San
Fernando Valley through downtown to the ocean in Long Beach. The
City of Los Angeles has published an L.A. River Revitalization
Master Plan. The L.A. River plan should promote democratic
participation and equitable results in the revitalization of the Los
Angeles River with healthy parks, schools, and communities. We
seek economic, environmental, equitable, and healthydevelopment for
all communities along the River for generations to come.</P>
<P>The River, one of the most environmentally degraded in the
world, runs 52 miles through some of the most underserved
communities in the region. Community revitalization along the
River that puts children and families first can serve as a best
practice example for community redevelopment throughout the
country.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>Children of color living in poverty without access to a car have
the worst access to parks, and to schools with at least five acres
of playing fields in the Los Angeles region. These children
disproportionately live along the length of the River that lies
within the County, but not within the City. Children of color
disproportionately live in the areas along the River with the
highest levels of child obesity and the worst access to parks and
recreation. <A href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cityprojectca/993722866/in/set-72157601185854001">Click

<P>The City Project, the Alianza de los Pueblos del Rio, and others
submitted public comments on the draft L.A. River Revitalization
Master Plan and draft environmental impact report to implement <A
href="http://www.cityprojectca.org/ourwork/mappinggreenaccess/equaljusticeprinciples.html">ten
equal justice principles</A> for healthy parks, schools, and
communities. The Policy Report <A href="http://www.cityprojectca.org/ourwork/mappinggreenaccess/index.html">Healthy
Parks, Schools and Communities: Mapping Green Access and Equity for
the Los Angeles Region</A> guides and inspires our comments.</P>
<P>The City of Los Angeles must work together with the County and
other municipalities and agencies to ensure equal access to public
resources along the full 52 miles of the Los Angeles River, not
just the 32 miles within the City. Planning for the full length of
the River should be included as part of Southern California�s
Integrated Regional Water Management Plan, to achieve compliance
with clean water and civil rights laws.</P>
<P>The area from El Rio de Los Angeles State Park to the Los
Angeles State Historic Park and El Pueblo de Los Angeles should
be connected to serve as a best practice example for community
development.</P>
<P> Within a three mile radius of Taylor Yard, 59% of
the population is Latino, 19% lives in poverty, and 14% has no
access to a car. Within a three mile radius of the Cornfield, 63%
of the population is Latino, 33% lives in poverty, and 36% has no
access to a car.</P>
<P>The Los Angeles River can unite the city across racial, ethnic,
and economic lines and link all of Los Angeles together as one
community through space and time. </P>
<P>"Were it not for the Los Angeles River, the city that shares
its name would not be where it is today. Were it not for the Los
Angeles River, Los Angeles would not be at all. The Los Angeles
River has always been at the heart of whichever human community is
in the basin: Gabrielino village, Spanish outpost, Mexican pueblo,
American city. The river has been asked to play many roles. It has
supplied the residents of the city and basin with water to drink
and spread amidst their grapes, oranges, and other crops. It has
been an instrument by which people could locate themselves on the
landscape. It has been a critical dividing line, not only between
east and west, north and south, but between races, classes,
neighborhoods. . . . [T]he river has also been a place where ideas
and beliefs about the past, present, and future of Los Angeles
have been raised and contested." William Deverell, <EM>Whitewashed
Adobe.</EM></P>
<H2>Browning the Green Movement </H2>
<P>"The Alianza de los Pueblos del Rio formed after [Robert] Garcia
and others decided that development of a new L.A. River was a
symbolic and literal convergence of a myriad of issues confronting
L.A.�s Latino population. To be left out of the discussion, they
realized, was to be left high and dry, as the river shifts
directions into the future. Instead, the alliance which includes[The
City Project], the Anahuak Youth Soccer Association, Re-mapping
L.A., Mujeres de la Tierra, and the William C. Velasquez Institute,
spearheaded river meetings and community outreach that have
ballooned into a comprehensive new platform of urban Latino
environmentalism. Part legal strategy, part organizing principle,
this green movement en espa�has put people--immigrants and poor
people, mostly--at the center of an issue traditionally focused on
flora and fauna, and which has pitted some environmentalists
against immigrants."<STRONG></STRONG> <SPAN id="BugEvents"> Evan

<H2>Watery Disputes: Controversy and Complaints Follow New L.A.
River Plan</H2>
<P><STRONG>by Evan George</STRONG></P>
<P> Last month, the City Council rolled out an
ambitious plan to revitalize the Los Angeles River from Canoga Park
to Downtown. The massive report capped an 18-month campaign of
unprecedented community outreach.</P>
<P>Now, less than two weeks before the draft plan enters its final
stage, the most vocal and well-organized coalition involved in that
process is up in arms, claiming its input has been marginalized.
