Show Notes
In Pico Union, Los Angeles, bioswales intended for stormwater management have become dumping grounds. These features, installed under former Mayor Eric Garcetti, are often concrete-based and unplanted, posing safety risks and inviting trash. Local residents, including community organizer Aurora Corona and restaurant owner Portobanco, are frustrated. The city plans to launch an Adopt-a-Median-style program in 2026, offering resources for residents to maintain and beautify these bioswales, potentially transforming them into community pride points.
