Summary
A fierce battle rages over cleaning the polluted Arroyo Seco, where Pasadena and South Pasadena plan to spend $15 million to restore water quality — but at the cost of nearly 140 mature trees, sparking outrage from locals, the Kizh Nation, and even an L.A. city council member. Critics argue the project ignores sacred burial grounds, fails to protect a rare wild creek near San Pascual Park, and lacks adequate outreach — especially in Spanish. Despite a lawsuit and revised plans, opponents say the solution still harms nature and ignores nearby residents. As regulators watch, the clash pits environmental restoration against preservation, revealing deep tensions in urban water management.
