The Griffith Park to El Pueblo Trail runs along the hills above Riverside Drive, following the old Pacific Electric right of way between Glendale Blvd and the 2 Freeway. The trail between Fletcher and the 2 Freeway (which we refer to interchangeably as the Corralitas Red Car Property or the Red Car Property) is well-used and connected to the neighborhood by a number of streets and public staircases.
Sam Menlo, convicted slumlord, and his Century Quality Management were approved by City Planning to build 120 unit condo development on Riverside Drive, north of Fletcher, along with a zone variance for their existing apartment building on Riverside Drive.
Today, the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy is appealing the decision for failure to require the trail in the Menlo Property development per the Silver Lake - Echo Park - Elysian Valley Community Plan. The City Council's Planning & Land Use Management Committee will hear the SMMC appeal today.
