The Los Angeles City Council approved a motion on Friday, Oct. 13, calling for the redevelopment of the former Lincoln Heights Jail property along the Los Angeles River to possibly create a mixed-use facility that would include housing.
Hernandez, who represents the 1st District, which includes Lincoln Heights, introduced the motion in May after an earlier proposal for the property located at 401 N. Avenue 19 fell through. The motion would direct city departments to report back within 120 days to move forward with plans for the nearly 147,000 square-foot property, as well identify possible funding sources for the project.Built in 1931, the former jail was designed to hold 625 people. It was decommissioned in 1965 due to overcrowding issues and maintenance costs.
