We the people who sign this petition are in favor of the Pacoima Spreading Grounds (PSG) getting vitalized into a recreational space. The targeted area includes the PSG perimeters that touch the following streets (Arleta Ave., Devonshire St. and Filmore St.) also the areas of the Pacoima Wash and Devonwood Park next to the PSG. Through a community effort, the urban trail known as the East San Fernando Valley Nature Parkway, offers a space to connect to recreation opportunities. An increased number of users exercising along the PSG is contributed to the Nature Parkway. It’s drought tolerant plants provide aromatherapeutic scents, a buffer against vehicle traffic and a habitat for other living things like: birds, ants, humming birds, butterflies, lizards, etc. There is a great opportunity to transform the Pacoima Spreading Grounds into an educational landmark and recreational space. Visitors will come to visually understand how water is stored and not wasted for LA City consumers. By improving our streets for non-driving users we will not only be able to mitigate green house gas emissions but also improve the wellbeing of all living things.

I am currently coordinating with local planning advocates to map out exactly how we turn these perimeter strips into a functional trail. Post this petition link to your Facebook timeline right now to keep the pressure on our city planning office. Text three neighbors today and ask them to sign so we can prove this project has real momentum.

We hit a real turning point for the Nature Parkway and the momentum is building faster than I expected. Take this link and post it on Facebook right now so we can keep the pressure on our local representatives. Send a quick email to your council member insisting that they prioritize this green space for our community.

The public walkway area on Woodman Ave. is not mentioned. The only area that L A County Flood Control District will approve is if it is outside of the PSG fence. This is for the protection of public safety and sanitary reasons.
By transforming our Spreading grounds into a beautiful & educational recreational area, our community & wildlife will benefit by becoming environmentally aware of how important the spreading grounds are. Most community members have no clue to how these spreading grounds work.
The Nature Parkway has been one of the most vibrant aspects in our community, offering beautification and recreation as it brings neighbors together in its establishment and preservation.
I always love walking and running around this area! If we could provide more spaces like this it would be great for the community!
Sorry for the typos! Green spaces promote the health and well being of people in our community. It allows individuals to have a safe space in which to exercise, which can prevent a number of conditions that our residents are at risk of developing, such as diabetes. Green space also reduces stress and can be conducive to promoting a sense of community. Please support the nature parkway! The health of our community depends on it!
Council members take ownership of this volunteer driven community garden. Step up and make out SFV beautiful again. Get rid of the homeless off Bradley/Paxton. I don't feel safe in my own neighborhood!!
great idea

I want to see all SFV communities this beutiful. Try adding a space to walk dogs, or small park for dogs.
