Grant to Fund Rest Area Along Los Angeles River Trail
South Gate has been awarded $400,000 by the Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District to develop a rest area for bicyclists and others using the Los Angeles River trail system.
The grant will allow the transformation of a city-owned parcel at Southern and Atlantic avenues into a green space with benches, landscaping, trees and access signs to the trail system, said city spokeswoman Nancy Blaine.
“The city is very pleased to have received this grant,” said Mayor Bill Martinez. “We are confident this improvement will be used and enjoyed by our residents.”
