Taylor Yards Bridge

Currently, the only connection between Cypress Park and Elysian Valley is at Figueroa Street, the southern tip for both of these neighborhoods. Students living in Elysian Valley must head north or south to the Sotomayor Learning Complex in Cypress Park. The proposed bridge intends to reconnect two communities separated by the River. The bridge is currently in the design phase and expected to cost between $5.3-$8 million.

The bridge will serve both pedestrians and bicyclists, connecting the existing Greenway in Elysian Valley to an existing road on the eastern River bank. With active community feedback, the bridge will reflect the identify of its neighborhood communities. This project will also include an on grade railroad crossing and a LADWP recycle water line.
