More about the Mid Valley frame

Channel Characteristics

In this frame, the channel is an entrenched rectangular box concrete channel with a typical width of 60 feet.

Landside Right-of-Way Characteristics

In this frame, the landside right-of-way ranges from 30-60 feet before terminating at the northwestern edge of the frame where Sepulveda Basin begins.

Notable Features

  • Dense residential context
  • Several greenways from river mile 37.8 to 38.6 along the right bank, from river mile 38.7 to 39.1 along the left bank, and from river mile 39.2 to 39.7 along both the left and right banks

Significant Considerations

  • The sections of the frame with a narrower right-of-way may require using the width of the channel or external land acquisition for projects of larger impact.
  • Mutltiuse trails and access for wildlife should both be accommodated, even in tighter rightof- way space. Methods such as habitat ramps into the channel may be considered.
  • Connections for wildlife could also be made to the multiple creeks of the Santa Monica Mountains in this area.
