Has anyone actually ever seen the LA river? I’m from the San Fernando valley and what is classified as the LA river is nominally dry as a bone. Fishing/Kayaking - really?

Does that mean they are going to allow it during the height of winter when there IS water in it an it’s moving at 20 miles an hour?

Idiots.

I’ve seen portions of it from the Metrolink which have been allowed to grow in with plants and trees. And water. The stretch I’m thinking of is near Griffith Park. I think the area in particular is known as Atwater aka “Frog Town” and once had some potent gangbangers.

I live 2 blocks from the river in Atwater Village. The river is going through a long-term multi-decade transformation.

Good or bad? I wan’t be alive to see it but I love the LA River.

Yeah, ya just follow the “stinky Felix” storm drain covers that empty into the concrete river bed!

Have to admit I haven’t seen the river since I was a kid in the late ‘60s, but from what I remember I could urinate a better stream than the LA River had every time I saw it.

In 1947 a buddy and I took a rubber life raft from Atwater to Long Beach when it was over 1/2 full in a storm with our bicycles and rode back to Silverlake on them!
