There are more than 230 projects in various stages of progress along the LA River as part of its long journey to revitalization. For the bridges alone, there are designs ranging from the utilitarian and "freeway-ramp-like" Riverside-Figueroa Bridge replacement to the artsy-looking, taut wire of the La Kretz Crossing. "Each of these projects adds a different flavor to its surroundings ... But do they in some way knit this future riverside area together?" Perhaps it's time for the LA River and riverside communities to be thinking about assembling a design review board. [KCET]
