Just got an email about one of the more interesting projects going on in Downtown LA. DLANC Sustainability Committee

The Downtown Los Angeles Youth & Cultural Center needs to build a parking lot on the blank lot adjacent to its center at 132 S. Beaudry Avenue – right next to the 110 Freeway to generate the necessary revenue to maintain their lease. Green Pockets Project
Wouldn’t it be great to see a permeable parking lot with plants and maybe even a water feature instead of the standard asphalt surface?

The DLANC Sustainability Committee is looking into how we can provide the Center with resources and partners to help it build a smarter, more sustainable parking surface. We hope to collaborate with other Neighborhood Council committees on this project and would like to invite you to a kick-off meeting to discuss next steps.
Wednesday, May 26, 2010 at the Downtown Los Angeles Youth & Cultural Center (132 S. Beaudry Ave.), starting at 6:30pm

Civil Development in Los Angeles is the blog title.  We will still be pretty focused on the engineering sector in Southern California, especially anything related to greening or LEED for a project.  I will have a few non engineering related posts such as the ATI bios fix as I would like to post some useful information that can still be used in this sector.

We have recently been approved to start work on a new project in Downtown LA.  This will be our second larger LEED project.  I will be very interested in seeing how this ties into the new California environmental codes, called CalGreen.  A little more info on CalGreen located at http://civildevelopmentgroup.com/blog/rx4
