Renowned architect Frank Gehry is working with Los Angeles officials in the public and private sector to draft a new master plan for the redevelopment of the Los Angeles River.
Gehry's involvement is a potential turning point in the decades-long movement to transform the concrete-lined waterway that winds through the heart of the Los Angeles Basin. It promises to bestow the cachet of one of the world's best-known artistic celebrities on a restoration effort that Mayor Eric Garcetti has placed at the center of his agenda.
Many details of Gehry's work -- including exactly what his plan entails and how much it would cost -- are still unknown.
