The House of Representatives unanimously passed a bill Wednesday authorizing the study of how to preserve the natural banks of the San Gabriel River watershed for recreation.
Rep. Hilda L. Solis (D-El Monte) is seeking to turn the river’s watershed (roughly the riverbank lands north of Santa Fe Springs through Pico Rivera, El Monte, Monrovia and up to the San Gabriel Mountains) into an urban park area.
Sen. Barbara Boxer introduced a companion bill in the Senate earlier this week.
