SUN VALLEY RENEWAL
Standing beside railroad tracks with a shovel in hand, Mayor Richard Riordan broke ground Thursday to start the Los Angeles Neighborhood Initiative. The program, also known as LANI, aims to improve Sun Valley’s image by renewing the neighborhood’s landscape with trees, colorful bus kiosks, better street lighting and bright banners displaying the new Sun Valley logo.
The Sun Valley LANI project was conceived by City Councilman Richard Alarcon and area business people and residents who wanted to counter the area’s deteriorating condition with a visible solution.
