Work is underway to reduce flooding and capture stormwater in this flood-prone North Hollywood alley, just west of Vineland. This Green Alley project could become a model for flood-prone areas throughout the city. It's a water-quality and conservation project that will relieve flooding in the area, minimize urban runoff that will drain to the Los Angeles River and allow storm-water to percolate into the ground to help re-charge the San Fernando Valley Groundwater Basin. This project will also beautify the North Hollywood neighborhood. Construction began this month and will continue through the summer. -- 7am to 3pm, monday to friday. The project is an alley west of Vineland Ave. in North Hollywood between Oxnard Street and Hatteras Street. 600-thousand dollars of the 800-thousand dollar cost is being funded by the DWP.
