Silver Lake Master Plan
In response to the surge of community awareness of the open reservoirs, the DWP agreed to work with the affected communities to identify ways in which the DWP’s mission to provide clean drinking water could mesh with the communities’ need to retain their open water views. The Silver Lake Master Plan, compiled and designed by the landscape architect firm of Mia Lehrer and Associates, was released in November of 2000 as the result of a series of workshops with the participation of over 450 people from the surrounding communities. The Master Plan serves to outline the priorities of the neighborhood, and provides a roadmap for the future at the reservoir complex. With an allocation of $2.3 million secured by State Assembly Member Dario Frommer, the Master Plan has already begun to take physical form with a number of projects that have either been completed, are scheduled for groundbreaking, or are in the early planning stages. The Aerial Orientation Map below was created in August of 2006:
