Hyperion River Plaza in Atwater Village

In Atwater Village adjacent to the Hyperion Bridge, there are Red Car Trolley piers that have potential to be repurposed into a pedestrian and bicycle path with a series of steps leading to the river.

This proposal will create broad, open-riser steel stairs that span behind the piers of the community's historic transportation amenity. Steps will lead directly to the water while the open-riser allows for continuous river flow. This new space will serve as a community public space, allowing for a variety of events and activities that celebrate the community and the River.
