catalyzing connectivity

in the east san gabriel valley Cal Poly Pomona MLA thesis Project 2013

A conceptual vision plan for an interconnected greenway network to improve access, increase open space, promote environmental management, and support human wellbeing along the Walnut, San Jose, and Thompson Creeks.

California

Los Angeles county

San Gabriel River Watershed

The vision plan identifies three core elements of focus for the project: Connectivity, Natural Environment and Human Wellbeing. The vision plan creates a greenway network that maximizes access through the communities to preferred destinations, increase transportation efficiency, and will help to facilitate future sustainable high density development. The proposed multimodal network was the product of the network suitability analysis. Routes recommended

Walnut and San Jose creek Subwatersheds

Walnut and San Jose creek Subwatershed + 10 Creek Cities

by the project team serve as primary arteries for local and regional connections that maximize access to desired destinations. The proposed green network and recommendations are the result of a comprehensive analysis. The major factors for network connections were existing and proposed infrastructure, preferred destinations, and the project program. These factors were processed through layering and modeling in a sequence that directly produced the green network.

This project was a group masters thesis project. Yoo-Jung Yang’s main roles were research, GIS analysis, development of a green network, document layout with InDesign, and graphic production using Adobe Suite products such as Photoshop and Illustrator.

An academic core runs along the northern area of campus, indicating the primary use.

Equestrian use and the Old Horse Stables are part of the university’s heritage. Those areas cannot be altered due to a standing agreement with the Kellogg Foundation.

The proposed new core aims at creating interest and activity near Temple Ave and South Campus Dr by altering the campus orientation. As the new north-south core, this active space provides opportunities to easily traverse the campus including the use of designated bicycle paths along of this new activity core.

• Deconstruct the lining of the canal to increase seepage and back up the wetlands • Suggest alternative crops for Imperial Valley to supplement the loss of water to provide farm lands • Create opportunities for human access to the wetlands with minimal impact

Ground Water Level 4ft(Before All-American Canal) Ground Water Level 6ft(After All-American Canal)

All-American Canal The All-American Canal is an 80 mile aqueduct. It conveys water from the Colorado River into Imperial Valley diverted from the Imperial Diversion Dam and is Imperial Valley’s only water source. This canal system irrigates up to 630 thousand acres of crop lands.

Although the canal causes reduced water level in the river, the seepage from it created 6300 ha of Andrade Mesa Wetlands

that provide high quality bird habitats in an isolated part of the northern Colorado River Delta.

The All-American Canal lining project was done in 2009 to prevent seepage. The U.S. government lined 24 miles of the canal to recover 97% of the seepage. After this project, a reduction of the Andrade wetland in Mexico was observed.

Rehabilitation I The lower Colorado River has been altered by dams and the canal diverts 26 cubic feet per second of water through highly permeable sand dunes. Seepage water flows under the dunes into Mexicali Valley, and the water supports the wetlands’ habitat. The completion of lining successfully reduced seepage to 0.16%, and the canal has 6% evaporation in arid conditions.

Solar Panels

Why don’t we cover it?

Using solar panels to cover the canal reduces the evaporation of water by up to 20%. It would make up 2% of the seepage, which is approximate seepage rate of the deconstructed canal. The solar panels also generate environmentally friendly energy for the valley.

Goals & Objectives:

â&#x20AC;˘ To provide stakeholders with a garden that addresses sustainability, feasibility, budget, management, and marketing. â&#x20AC;˘ To showcase not only the local flora and fauna, but the creativity of the community itself, by commissioning local artists to create many of the design elements and interactive sculptures peppered throughout the site design.

Concept:

Showcasing local art with the flora and fauna of Temecula and Southern California by creating a garden reflective of the community and its rich diversity, and a local destination that would bring the community together and show visitors all that Temecula has to offer.

Recycling Area Proposal Sólheimar in Iceland is one of the oldest eco villages in the world. Although this is an eco village, most of its utilities are not an ecologically designed and it has only experimental wind power generator and compost toilet exhibitions. Recently, they have started a longterm village development project that can improve sustainability and expand resident population.

Sesseljuhús Environmental Center in Sólheimar to needed develop a preliminary masterplan for the village’s expansion. More than half of residents are disabled and most residents live and work in the village. Additionally, tourists and guests from all over the world visit year round. One of the projects is separating the road system from the existing village drive way to protect the residents’ privacy. The project provided several alternatives with pavement materials as well as traffic calming elements. The project focused on a providing pedestrian-friendly environment in the village for residents and visitors.

Masters Degree Project Summary Document Sample

Inventory Understanding of the project area has been developed through extensive site visits as well as review of the biophysical and sociocultural contexts. The East San Gabriel Valley landscape is dynamic, and its social issues are complex.

Both biophysical and sociocultural data were collected and represented. These included: climate, geomorphology, hydrology, natural disasters, and ecology, as well as human history, land use, transportation, demographics, culture, and open space access.

The shape of the study area constricts air flow and captures significantly more water than surrounding areas. A large population with many activities and inputs complicates these vulnerabilities to contamination. Desirability of the land has led to significant population growth, but to make more land available, controls have been employed to manage the natural environment. The interface between development and unmanaged park and open space is limited to prevent fire, and water flows have been channelized to mitigate floods and erosion. Extensive infrastructure from the large and spread out population threatens rich natural habitats, and limits land for natural systems and open space important

for human and environmental wellbeing. Access and human movement between important resources and services are interconnected issues in the region.

About 47 percent of residents in the region do not have park access within one-quarter mile of their home. This signifies the importance of creating open spaces and recreational areas along east-west connections through the network. Regional health issues are also documented. The cities of Baldwin Park, La Puente and Pomona rank as some of the most obese cities in Los Angeles County, averaging at 27.3 percent. More than a quarter of the adult residents in these three cities are considered to be obese, and not surprisingly, 28.7 percent of the children are also considered to be obese. Diabetes mortality rates predictably correspond to the obesity rates, with Baldwin Park, La Puente, Pomona and Covina showing the highest rates within the project boundary (LA County Department of Public Health 2012).

Data-based research and physical observations from on-location field study were collected and organized.

Data collection entailed research and procurement of information in the form of maps, imagery, statistics, studies, and reports.
