Freeway Upgrades Get Underway
With a goal to spruce up the scenery for drivers coming and going on San Fernando Valley freeways, part of the Valley Gateways Project was unveiled Friday at the Roscoe Boulevard on- and offramps of the San Diego Freeway.
Assembly Speaker Robert Hertzberg (D-Van Nuys) and the Economic Alliance of the San Fernando Valley have teamed up for the $250,000 beautification project that will landscape major freeway on- and offramps in the area.
Designers from Lawrence Moss and Associates planted bougainvillea, agave and aloe plants and different types of palm trees at the site.
“When people turn onto the freeway, they will feel welcome,” said Victor Chanorathaikul, one of the firm’s associates.
During the next two years, 30 other ramps will undergo similar revitalization.
