Before channelization—what led to channelization?
Existing/Future conditions for project area
Existing river access
Mobility to/from/within the project area—bikes, trains, walking
Other livability criteria—tree canopy coverage, permeable areas, parks
Habitat and plant systems within the LA River watershed and 11-mile ARBOR stretch project area
Key neighborhoods and landmarks, planning areas related to the river in the project area
Stormwater inlets/outlets
Land use—identifying public ownership
◦ Housing
◦ Parks and open space
◦ Vacant
Aquifers and groundwater basins

Current plans and their impact on the project area
ARBOR study
What are the specific reaches and planned work within those reaches?
How does the ARBOR study support water supply, habitat, ecosystem restoration?
LA Watersheds, water quality/supply and the LA River
Which jurisdictions are responsible for management of the LA River: stormwater, open space, water quality, safety?
How do all of the existing plans complement each other—what’s the big picture goal for revitalization?
Questions specifically for the project area: What is proposed?
How do the proposed plans fit with a multi-benefit approach to river revitalization?
Other questions students considered during research and analysis: What type of habitat and how much connectivity does the river provide currently (Dramstad et al., 1996)?
How does the river fit into LA’s stormwater capture/water supply systems?
What does restoration of the LA River look like?
