Version:

Existing law establishes the Department of Transportation and provides that the department has full possession and control of all state highways and all property and rights in property acquired for state highway purposes and authorizes and directs the department to lay out and construct all state highways between the termini designated by law and on the locations as determined by the commission.

This bill would require the department to prepare a plan for adding caps to freeway segments that divide disadvantaged, underrepresented, urban communities, as specified. The bill would require the department to submit the plan to the Legislature by January 1, 2030. The bill would repeal these provisions on January 1, 2031.

Existing law designates all parks, public campgrounds, monument sites, landmark sites, and sites of historical interest established or acquired by the state, or that are under its control, as the state park system, except as specified. Under existing law, the Department of Parks and Recreation controls the state park system, which is made up of units, one of which is the Rio de Los Angeles State Park.This bill would require the department to collaborate and coordinate with the County of Los Angeles, the City of Los Angeles, other cities along the Los Angeles River, the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy, the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority, and the San Gabriel and Lower Los Angeles Rivers and Mountains Conservancy to develop a plan to expand the Rio de Los Angeles State Park on lands along the Los Angeles River and its tributaries, as specified.
