Los Angeles, CA neighborhood mitigates heat with new "cool" pavement

In Progress

Pacoima, CA, a neighborhood located Los Angeles, CA, is undertaking a pavement project aimed at combating extreme heat. The project involves installing "cool pavement," which reflects sunlight and reduces the absorption of heat, thereby lowering surface temperatures. By implementing this innovative approach, the city aims to create more comfortable and heat-resilient streets for its residents.
