The California State Coastal Conservancy’s Los Angeles Harbor Area Public Access & Urban Waterfront Plan will help to complete the California Coastal Trail, by closing the gap in the L.A. Harbor Area.

Duvivier Architects was selected by the California State Coastal Conservancy to prepare the Los Angeles Harbor Area Public Access & Urban Waterfront Plan. This plan furthers the efforts of the Los Angeles Harbor Area – California Coastal Trail Access Analysis, by developing specific recommendations for Coastal Gateways. These community “gateways” connect inland communities to waterfront and shoreline areas and to future and proposed Restoration Projects in order to encourage the conservation, restoration and enhancement of coastal natural resources and watersheds.

This plan also includes concept and design plans for several Early Implementation Projects such as:

• The East Wilmington Greenbelt, adjacent to the Wilmington waterfront.

• The San Pedro Waterfront Gateway Park, linking the Cruise Ship Terminal via the newly completed first phase of the Waterfront Promenade to Knoll Hill and the 110 Freeway corridor, west to Gaffey Street.

• Beacon Street Bluffs and San Pedro Plaza Park, extending along the central San Pedro waterfront.

• The Point Fermin Coast, extending from Sunken City/Pacific Avenue to White Point/Shoreline Park, along Paseo Del Mar.

Development of this plan has been closely coordinated with the current San Pedro and Wilmington waterfront projects being managed by the Harbor Department of the City of Los Angeles and with the Harbor/Watts Economic Development Corporation. Design and site plans were prepared by Duvivier Architects, Marc Beyeler of the SCC, CMG, Mia Lehrer + Associates and SMWM.
