A controversial chain-link fence that surrounds Echo Park Lake is scheduled to be removed by the end of March, a Los Angeles city councilman said.
A controversial chain-link fence that surrounds Echo Park Lake is scheduled to be removed by March 31, Los Angeles Councilman Hugo Soto-Martinez announced Friday.
Two years ago, protesters clashed with police when nearly 200 people living in homeless encampments were removed. The park was then temporarily closed for repairs and the fence has remained up since it reopened. Some residents say the fence has made them feel more comfortable taking evening walks and spending time at the park.
