The project team is using several criteria to identify areas along the network where there is the greatest need and opportunities for greenway projects:
- Circulation—Does the project connect to existing bikeways, trails, parks, transit, schools, community centers, and other activities?
- Equity—What are the pollution and health burdens of the surrounding community? Measured using CalEnviroScreen
- Community—How many people live in the surrounding area, and how great is the need for more park space? Measured using the Los Angeles County Parks Needs Assessment
- Synergy—Where along the network are there projects already in development to connect to?
- Environment—Where can projects add more trees and provide habitats that connect to significant ecological areas?
