The Merced Avenue Stormwater Capture Project is an investment in sustainability, mobility, and community well-being. This project will create a new bike and walking path connecting Merced Avenue Linear Park to the Rio Hondo Bike Path, providing a safe and scenic route for pedestrians and cyclists.
In addition to improving connectivity, the project will enhance stormwater management by incorporating an underground drainage system and landscaping designed to absorb and filter water naturally. This will help improve local water quality while supporting a greener, healthier environment.
