Los Angeles Parking Lot Becomes an Inner City Wetland

A Los Angeles bus parking lot has been transformed into a nine-acre wetland that efficiently processes storm water runoff. The $26 million project gives the city an innovative way to deal with water pollution, and residents have a dedicated green space. Boardwalks and displays encourage neighbors to take walks and read about wetlands. An education center and museum are planned in the future.
