TESLA WALKING PATH IS DEDICATED

SLRC’s Craig Collins joins California Assemblymember Mike Gatto, and LA City Councilmembers Tom LaBonge and Eric Garcetti, along with some local neighbors, in dedicating the new Tesla walking path on Wednesday, October 10th, 2012. 

The Conservancy presented certificates of appreciation to those that made the new walkway possible, including the crew from the Department of Water & Power.  The walkway, which now means pedestrians don’t have to share the street with automobiles, also features a small parklet with benches.  It’s now open for all to enjoy!   Here’s a pic of the parklet, located in a small grove of trees:These  two guys led a dedicated team which was instrumental in making the Tesla Path and Parklet a reality—Marty Adams, water operations manager (R), and Don Keen, construction supervisor (L), of the LA Department of Water & Power:And here’s a link to coverage of the big event in the EASTSIDER, CURBED LA and the PATCH, including more pix:
