CA 40027 Re: CF 15-0548 Anza Trail Certification Honorable Councilmembers The certification of the Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail where is passes through Griffith Park along the Los Angeles River is a tremendous asset for the City of Los Angeles. It is an integral part of the the history of California and of the City. The success of the expedition in establishing the City of San Francisco solidified Spain’s claim to California and kept the Russians from claiming California. One of its soldados, Jose Vicente Feliz, was later assigned to El Pueblo de Los Angeles as its comisionado or city manager. For his excellent work Feliz was granted Rancho Los Feliz which later became Griffith Park and the Los Feliz district. One of the padres who accompanied the expedition kept a diary in which he describes the area where the Anza expedition camped beside the river where it makes a bend toward the west around a mountain. The mountain he describes is now Griffith Park and the level land where they camped is currently the LA Zoo parking lot, the Autry Museum, and Ferraro Soccer Fields. The Anza Trail complements the City’s River Revitalization Plan as well as the federally proposed Rim of the Valley Corridor and President Obama’s America’s Great Outdoors Initiative and “50 State Report.” This is a particularly important segment of the trail because it passes through publicly owned land so it is accessible to hikers and walkers. The certification of the Anza Trail allows the City to partner with the National Park Service to enhance recreational and interpretive opportunities along the LA River where it passes through Griffith Park.

  • Preliminary Insect (Butterfly) Survey at Griffith Park, Los Angeles, California
    Kathy Keane October 30, 2003 Keane Biological Consulting 5546 Parkcrest Street Long Beach, CA 90808 Subject: Preliminary Insect (Butterfly) Survey at Griffith Park, Los Angeles, California. Dear Kathy: Introduction At the request of Keane Biological Consulting (KBC), Guy P. Bruyea (GPB) conducted a reconnaissance-level survey for the butterfly and insect inhabitants of Griffith Park in northwestern Los Angeles County, California. This report presents findings of our survey conducted to assess butterfly and other insect diversity within Griffith Park, and briefly describes the vegetation, topography, and present land use throughout the survey area in an effort to assess the overall quality of the habitat currently present. Additionally, this report describes the butterfly species observed or detected, and identifies butterfly species with potential for occurrence that were not detected during the present survey. All observations were made by GPB during two visits to Griffith Park in June and July 2003. Site Description Griffith Park is generally located at the east end of the Santa Monica Mountains northwest of the City of Los Angeles within Los Angeles County, California. The ± 4100-acre Griffith Park is situated within extensive commercial and residential developments associated with the City of Los Angeles and surrounding areas, and is the largest municipal park and urban wilderness area within the United States. Specifically, Griffith Park is bounded as follows: to the east by the Golden State Freeway (Interstate Highway 5) and the

  • The Politics of Urban Sustainability and Environmental Justice in the Los Angeles River Watershed
    Restoring a River to Reclaim a City?: The Politics of Urban Sustainability and Environmental Justice in the Los Angeles River Watershed By Esther Grace Kim A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Science, Policy, and Management in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Jeff Romm, Chair Professor Nancy Peluso Professor Richard Walker Fall 2017 Restoring a River to Reclaim a City?: The Politics of Urban Sustainability and Environmental Justice in the Los Angeles River Watershed Copyright © 2017 by Esther Grace Kim Abstract Restoring a River to Reclaim a City?: The Politics of Urban Sustainability and Environmental Justice in the Los Angeles River Watershed by Esther Grace Kim Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Science, Policy, and Management University of California, Berkeley Professor Jeff Romm, Chair This dissertation examines the intersection of urban sustainability and environmental justice (EJ) in Los Angeles, California. ‘Urban sustainability’, the idea that incorporating sustainable measures into urban development plans/strategies can ameliorate ecological degradation and social inequality without compromising economic growth, has recently emerged as a powerful discourse with regards to city planning and environmental governance. In this dissertation, I critically interrogate urban sustainability’s claims, questioning how equitable socio-spatial configurations can be created through modes of urban governance, which despite its optimistic rhetoric, are still driven by the logic of capitalist economic development and overseen by the racial state. To investigate the ways in which environmental justice, then, is facilitated and/or constrained under the programmatic realization of urban sustainability, I focus on one particular sustainability project in Los Angeles—the restoration/revitalization of the Los Angeles River Watershed.

GRAVES PREFACE Time flies so swiftly, that I can hardly realize so many years have elapsed since I, a child five years of age, passed through the Golden Gate, to become a resident of California. I have always enjoyed reading of the experiences of California pioneers, who came here either before or after I did. The thought came to me, that possibly other people would enjoy an account of the experiences of my seventy years in the State, during which I participated in the occurrences of a very interesting period of the State's development.

Copyright 0 1994 by Washington Law Review Association MISSION REVIVAL JURISPRUDENCE: STATE COURTS AND HISPANIC WATER LAW SINCE 1850 Peter L. Reich* Abstract: In this Article, the author argues that after the United States' annexation of the Southwest, state judges in California, New Mexico, and Texas knowingly distorted the communal nature of applicable Spanish and Mexican water law. While previous scholars have acknowledged that courts misinterpreted municipal and riparian water rights originating in the Southwest's Hispanic period, most historians have attributed the distortion to ignorance rather than design. Using archival sources, the author demonstrates that American judges created an historical fiction of "Spanish" absolute water control, and intentionally disregarded actual law and custom dictating water apportionment. The resulting doctrines of pueblo water rights and riparian irrigation rights facilitated water monopoly and accumulation by cities and large landowners.

  • Myrna Loy ~ 46 Films and More
    Myrna Loy ~ 46 Films and more Myrna Loy was born Myrna Adele Williams on 2 August 1905 in Radersburg, Montana to parents of Welsh, Scottish and Swedish descent. After her rancher father David became, at just 21, the youngest man ever elected to the Montana State Legislature, the family moved 35 miles to Helena, the state capital, which is where Myrna grew up. Frank (later Gary) Cooper, four years her senior, was a near neighbour: We lived high off the hog on Fifth Avenue. It was just a nice middle- class neighbourhood. Most of the richer families were building on the opposite mountainside. Helena is a spacious city, climbing up Mount Ascension and Mount Helena from Last Chance Gulch, so we had wonderful, steep streets. When it snowed you could slide past Judge Cooper's house all the way to the railroad station in the valley part of town. The Coopers lived just below us in a fairly elegant house with an iron fence around it.1 In 1918 a flu pandemic swept the world, and one of its countless victims was 39 year old David Williams. This prompted his widow Ella to move with children Myrna and nine year old David to Los Angeles. There Myrna attended the Westlake School for Girls where at the age of 15 she caught the acting bug. In 1924-5, she came to the attention of silver screen big-hitters Rudolph and Natacha Valentino, following which doors of opportunity began to open. Her first film, released in 1925, was What Price Beauty? Later the same year she appeared alongside young Joan Crawford in Pretty Ladies.
