Merced Avenue Greenway
What is the Merced Avenue Greenway Project?
The City of South El Monte, Council for Watershed Health, Active San Gabriel Valley, Climate Resolve, Alta Planning and Tetra Tech have teamed up to create a multiple benefit approach to enhance public health and beautify the neighborhood! The Merced Ave project aims to demonstrate how street design can combat rising temperatures, increase pedestrian/bicyclist safety, and improve local water quality. A neighborhood-scale project like Merced Avenue is intended to provide a real-world model of watershed-based design that integrates many ongoing efforts in the region to address flood management, water quality and habitat restoration.
