The Monteith Park and View Park Green Alley Stormwater Improvements Project is located in the unincorporated area of View Park, the Project will capture and infiltrate urban runoff and stormwater from 228 acres of primarily residential and commercial land from neighboring areas.
The use of this water will help offset potential drought conditions as well as improve downstream waterbodies such as Ballona Creek and the Santa Monica Bay.
