We enter the river at the new car-free “Red Car Bridge”, so named after the legendary Red Car Rail Trolleys that rumbled over the L.A. River at the same spot more than 60 years ago. The new metal bridge, with red stripes running down its sides, is for pedestrians and cyclists only. We’ll also learn about our beloved LA River, the lifeblood of Los Angeles. Heading south we’ll then stop at the Taylor Yard Bridge. This bright orange bridge (400ft long x 18ft wide and opened in 2022 for only cyclists and pedestrians), offers two cantilevered lookouts with expansive north and south views of the adjacent communities and natural surroundings of the Glendale Narrows section of the river.

Elysian Valley, known as Frogtown, is a progressive, pocket community of artists, architects, light industrial and multi-generational residential. Standing sentry is the new Taylor Yard Bridge. This new, bright orange, bike-walk bridge with its distinctive open frame box style is located in the eight-mile-long, relatively natural Glendale Narrows stretch of the river. Measuring 400 ft long, 20 foot wide it features two cantilevered viewing platforms – called belvederes – with expansive north and south views and is designed exclusively for pedestrians and bicyclists, connecting the Elysian Valley and Cypress Park neighborhoods. Taylor Yard Bikeway and Pedestrian Bridge is one of three pedestrian crossings recently erected along the LA.

This Art Deco Lincoln Heights Jail (decommissioned in 1965) once held such bold-faced names as Al Capone and people arrested during the Zoot Suit Riots and Watts Riots. Sadly it also had a separate wing to house its high numbers of gay inmates. From 1979 to 2014, the building housed the Bilingual Foundation for the Arts. It has also been used as a filming location and for sports tournaments.
