Amid a rare and prolonged torrent of wet weather last month, the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Los Angeles District cleared 144 tons of litter and debris in a stretch of the San Gabriel Valley River that also included what officials were abandoned homeless encampments. Crews cleared the area between March 6 and March 13, according to Army Corps officials, with much of the clearing around the former Puente Largo Railway Bridge, a 116-year-old bridge that was converted several years ago to a walk and bikeway spanning the riverbed.
