Albion Riverside Park <br />Los Angeles, CA <br />EXPERIENCE <br />The City of Los Angeles selected Tetra Tech to provide pre - <br />design, design, and construction support services for the Albion <br />Riverside Park Project, located adjacent to the Los Angeles River. <br />The project involved transforming a six -acre site, previously used <br />for dairy warehousing and distribution, into a riverfront park and <br />recreational facility that benefits nearby disadvantaged low-income <br />neighborhoods. This important water quality project is part of the <br />City's overall efforts through the Proposition 0 Bond Program to <br />improve water quality and reduce pollutant loads that are currently <br />being conveyed to the rivers, lakes, and oceans within the greater <br />Los Angeles area. <br />The overall project objective was to develop the project site and <br />implement Low Impact Development (LID), Green Infrastructure, and <br />Best Management Practice (BMP) measures to improve the water <br />quality of stormwater prior to discharging into the Los Angeles River <br />and ultimately into the Pacific Ocean. In addition to collecting, treating <br />and infiltrating on -site runoff, the project diverts stormwater and <br />dry weather flows from an existing storm drain. The diverted flows <br />are then treated and infiltrated, or used within the park. The BMPs <br />installed included bioretention facilities, bioswales, and pervious <br />pavement subsurface infiltration areas. The remainder of the park was <br />developed for recreational uses, educational purposes, and improved <br />access along the river. Recreational amenities at the site included <br />multi purpose athletic fields, walking paths, adult fitness zones, <br />children's play area, picnic area, a new parking lot with permeable <br />paving, site landscaping and a plaza. <br />-=Cifytof-Santa Ana <br />- <br />i TETRA TECH <br />
