Lewis MacAdams will live on with everything that is accomplished out of the spark of his inspiration. And he will be remembered, always, within our hearts. Lewis, we miss you.

Looking forward to working with the Corps to advance delivery with innovative approaches!

At long last we raise the mast! You may notice as you drive along the 5, a new LA icon is rising. The North Atwater Bridge over the #LARiver is in the midst of it's structure assembly.

Happy to celebrate LA River day this week with @cd4ryu!

Breaking ground this morning on the Taylor Yard Pedestrian and Bicycle Bridge fulfills a long-standing mission to connect communities along the #LARiver. In just two years we'll be back to cut the ribbon on this important piece of the #LARiverWay!

We were thrilled today to join @epagov to announce a $500,000 grant to support cleanup work at #TaylorYardG2!

Good early turnout for the site assessment report portion of today's #TaylorYardG2 Public workshop. The concept discussion begins at 10 am -- still time to come on down. And oh yeah, we have coffee and snacks!

100% of wastewater by 2035 will be put to beneficial use through recycling!
