City Council to develop park plans for landfill
The City Council agreed Friday to work on a plan that may create park and recreation space on and around the closed Lopez Canyon Landfill in Lake View Terrace.
City Councilman Richard Alarcon said that the ideas include a park on the outskirts and a golf range where the dump is still settling.
“We will now have an opportunity over the course of the next 20 years to build multiple parks on the site and make it an enjoyable feature for the community instead of the burden that it was for the decades that we land-filled there,” Alarcon said.
