In 2019, Los Angeles County coated streets across a 0.64-square-kilometer neighborhood; surfaces were up to 9°F cooler, but ten months later the cooling effect had fallen by about 1.8°F
In an effort to combat the urban heat island phenomenon, Los Angeles initiated cool pavement trials in the Winnetka and Pacoima neighborhoods.
