>> Malibu’s Paradise Cove’s no longer Parasite Cove, thanks to the city’s Clean Ocean Project, a new facility that’ll capture runoff stormwater, cleaning and disinfecting the dirty water before sending it out to the ocean. Writes Heal the Bay’s Mark Gold: “The end result should be dry weather straight “A”s for years to come, and maybe even “A” grades during the rainy season too.”

>> L.A.’s turning into a cyclist’s paradise for a day, when CicLAvia rolls into town. Come Sun., Sept. 12 from 10 am to 3 pm, 7 miles of roads from Boyle Heights to East Hollywood will be closed to cars — and open to bikes and vibrant, car-free streetlife. (via LAist)
