South LA has the potential to become a greener, healthier, and more walkable community. I believe we can transform our neighborhoods by expanding access to parks, bike paths, and open spaces. I’m committed to working with residents, environmental justice advocates, schools, and state and local agencies to preserve the green spaces we have—and to create more spaces in the neighborhoods where we need them most.

I’ll fight to:

• Activate a 15-mile greenway along the 110 Freeway into one of the largest urban greening projects with trees, plants, and gardens.

• Expand safe walking, biking, and recreation spaces for youth and families.

• Improve our public parks so residents of all ages can lead active, healthy lives in clean, vibrant, and well-maintained spaces.

• Increase mixed-use facility agreements to make school playgrounds more accessible to the community for recreation, exercise, and wellness activities.
