Last summer when the City of LA commenced its ambitious $2.9M Master Plan process to reimagine the retired, 130-acre Silver Lake Reservoir Complex, some of us in the neighborhood attended the first meeting with trepidation: what if people were against our group’s vision of ABC: access, beauty, and conservation?
We are at an exciting time for our neighborhood: the commencement of a rare Master Plan to redesign the Silver Lake Reservoirs Complex! What would you like this space to be? Now is the time to make your voice heard.
As you know, the Reservoirs Complex contains the large, deep Silver Lake Reservoir, the much smaller Ivanhoe Reservoir, and also 25 acres of land behind barbed-wire fences. In 2017, the reservoirs were retired from service. Now, the City of LA is asking all of us: what would you like the space to become?
We have ideas. Like more walking trails, much more green space, fewer fences, wetlands for wildlife and anything else that aligns with our values of access, beauty, and conservation.
The formal invitation from the City of Los Angeles for this meeting is here:

We can’t wait to see you on Thursday. The future is waiting to be invented!
Thanks to everyone who came to the Master Plan Community meeting on May 1st. It was a wonderful showing of people from the neighborhood who are exciting about the future of the Reservoirs. We encourage everyone who wasn't able to attend (and those who did, too!) to COMMENT ONLINE ABOUT THE MASTER PLAN.
