The Upper Los Angeles River & Tributaries Revitalization Plan aims to revitalize communities along the river’s upper tributaries, prioritizing equity and resilience. With each major milestone of ULART reached with extensive input from the community, the proposed 17.5 square mile area will benefit 1.53 million people, capture 8,695 acre-feet of stormwater a year, nurture 250,000 trees, provide over 1,000 miles of shaded green street and trails, and preserve over 6,000 acres of urban wildlife ecology.
