The County of Los Angeles has selected a world-class team to help update the LA River Master Plan, a comprehensive approach covering all 51 miles of the River. The effort was launched to update the original 1996 master plan, synthesizing more recent ideas for portions of the River and bringing a comprehensive vision to the transformation of the LA River.
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Works solicited proposals for project management from its on-call technical consultants. Of the firms that returned proposals, Geosyntec was selected as the successful bidder. The other team members are subcontractors to Geosyntec.
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Works manages the project management, which includes the management of the consulting team. The steering committee is in an advisory role, and advises the consultants and the county on the project based on community input.

The purpose of this process is to update the LA River Master Plan, which hasn’t been updated since 1996. This plan will address the needs of communities along the entirety of the LA River.
There is daily progress on the river, including both formal and informal meetings and conversations about the work. There are a number of projects in development up and down the river!
The steering committee as well as the subcommittees are designed to advise both the technical team and the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works (LACDPW).
There are a variety of ways to get involved with the Los Angeles River Master Plan Update Process! To see ongoing events, check out our public engagements calendar. For regular updates and opportunities for digital engagement:
