We’ll improve our streets and sidewalks while addressing climate resilience and extreme heat, funding more miles of cool pavements and planting new tree canopy across Los Angeles, like the Sherman Way Orange Line project in Canoga Park.

ALT The Connecting Canoga Park project will transform 7 miles of streets in the heart of the Canoga Park community adjacent to the Metro G Line (Orange Line) Rapid Bus Corridor and G Line Pedestrian and Bike Trail (Orange Line Trail) in the west San Fernando Valley area of the City of Los Angeles.

LA's first ever @LACityForest and the USC public Exchange program are doing fascinating work to bring more shade to Los Angeles! Trees can cool a street down by 20 degrees or more. You can watch/read my full piece on Spectrum!
USC Dornsife's Public Exchange is helping the city of Los Angeles (@LACity) bring cooling shade to the city's warming neighborhoods as part of the Urban Trees Initiative.

#ICYMI @LACity was the first to pilot @Google's AI-powered Tree Canopy Insights to pinpoint where we need to plant more trees.🌳 This real-time data is critical in helping us tackle the climate crisis. Read more about our partnership with Google: goo.gle/trees:
We can’t wait to see Tree Canopy insights come to more cities. For inspiration in the meantime, check out how officials in Los Angeles, Louisville, Chicago, Austin, and Miami are planning to use Tree Canopy insights → blog.google/products/maps/ho…

Tree Canopy Insights helps cities understand where to plant more trees to protect residents from the effects of climate change. We’re expanding this initiative to 100 new cities in the coming months → goo.gle/3l2Vcti #SearchOn 🌳
