Honestly, there are a handful of other places throughout Southern California where a freeway cap park could be built: Pasadena 210, Long Beach 405, etc. It's such a good idea that I'm surprised that the Hollywood 101, DTLA 110, or DTLA 101 (my personal favorite) parks aren't further along in the planning or development stages. They create badly needed open park space, link communities together, lead to more development, and can even help a lot with tourism. LA would be seen as an innovator, for a change.

With that said, no park plan in Southern California even comes close to the LA River restoration
