LAist: LA River Plan held up because of Steven Spielberg?

Hmmm. There is a road between Amblin/Dreamworks and the river - perhaps that's the biggest problem, getting Universal to allow the public access to their roads?

We should be able to have a wilderness corridor along the river from the Queen Mary to the Mountains! I want to see more love given to the lower LA River, from downtown to Long Beach. Long Beach has plans to revitalize many of its riverfront parks, and include wetlands/native habitat restorations. We do have the bikepath, at least. But the neighborhoods are a bit rough, and without vigilance the parks go bad real fast.

Most of the "bungalows" (think crappy mobile homes), as well as the giant faux-Santa Fe-style Amblin offices on the Universal lot run along the river. If Spielberg's personal office is along the side of the building next to the river, folks could dismount and probably get a good peek inside. I haven't been on that lot in a few years, but that's how it used to be, anyway.

I am more than willing to stand behind this idea. You've got an awesome proposal here. Why is bike access absent between Studio City and West LA? I live on the west side and all I want to do is ride my bike to the subway instead of being jammed up on the rapid for endless hours.
