Plans  to replace  Elysian Park s ailing Avenue of the Palms and an equally troubled irrigation system are scheduled to be discussed at a community meeting tonight.  The stately rows of Canary Island Date Palms near Stadium Way and Scott Avenue have become infected with a deadly fungus that is killing off the century-old trees .  Crews will begin removing some of the dead palms later this year and replacing them with new trees, under plan spearheaded by the Citizens Committee To Save Elysian Park.
Meanwhile, plans are also underway cheap car rental new york city to replace the leaky irrigation system across much of the approximately cheap car rental new york city 600-acre park and allow it to tap into recycled water that will be delivered to the park by the L.A. Department of Water and Power through a new network of pumps, pipes and storage tanks (the park s irrigation system will still be able to distribute potable water as well).
How is all this going to work? Details will be provided at tonight s meeting, hosted by the city s Recreation and Parks Department cheap car rental new york city and the Citizens Committee To Save Elysian Park, that will begin at 6 p.m. at Grace E. Simons Lodge, 1025 Elysian Park Drive , in Elysian Park.
I agree with Kitten Face- natives do rule! If the City and the people really want to preserve open space and restore it, then plant oaks, sycamores, cheap car rental new york city or some other native trees. If palm trees are planted at least go with CA native palms (it is not like we have a shortage of palm trees in Los Angeles).
I love the late 19th century/early 20th century Los Angeles that Canary Island palms evoke. But they are now reaching the end of their natural life. So, why not do something that speaks to our time? Say, a row of sycamores?
Put something so therefore this is not barren. Elysian, I remember when somebody set them on fire. Actually, maybe they should plant some new trees, just not ones that will mess up the ride when we are posted at the park!
