Description:
Town meeting for residents of Riverside Drive, whose lives were affected when a landslide occurred in Elysian Park, behind their homes.

The debris covered 600 feet of Riverside Drive, forcing traffic to be rerouted and attracting thousands of spectators from as far away as New York. Because the crack had been identified early on, damage and injuries were largely avoided
