The Exposition Right of Way (ROW) between Motor Avenue and Sepulveda Boulevard in West Los Angeles is a fallow strip of land holding exciting opportunities. Click the links below to find out more about:

Conservation: the ROW provides a place to clean Ballona Creek, as has been legally mandated. Ballona Creek’s “tributaries” (storm drains carrying Stone Canyon Creek, urban runoff and storm water) cross the ROW, where they can be filtered while irrigating and replenishing groundwater.

Recreation: the ROW has ample space for recreation. Bicycle and walking paths could pass under Westwood Boulevard and Overland Avenue – along with the waterway – and the paths could connect to Palms Park, Palms Child Care Center and Palms Recreation Center, as well as the adjacent Palms-Rancho Park Library.

Education: the water feature within the park would attract native plants, butterflies and birds, and provide a rich outdoor education laboratory for Overland Elementary School and others.

And

Transportation: the ROW is currently undergoing Environmental Review for light rail transit. Metro has promised a transit parkway for the Phase I of the Expo line. Here, in what could be Phase II, the ROW is up to 4 times wider.
