According to the mayor’s office, “cool pavement” can decrease surface temperatures by 10 degrees below traditional pavement.
The Boyle Heights neighborhood could soon be getting cooler — in terms of temperature.
Mayor Eric Garcetti and Rep. Jimmy Gomez, D-Los Angeles, got together at Mariachi Plaza on Wednesday, July 6, to celebrate $1 million in federal funding being provided to the Boyle Heights Community Cooling Project. The effort utilizes measures such as “cool pavement” treatments and the planting of trees to reduce overall ambient temperatures.
“I am thrilled to announce $1 million in federal funding to install cooling elements on our local streets in Boyle Heights and to improve urban greening, pedestrian safety and public health in this beloved neighborhood,” Gomez said in a statement.
