WNC Elections

Elections are coming up during the week of August 13-19, 2012. You are invited to run for the WNC to make a difference in our community. Stay posted for updates on the election timeline.

Vacant House?

We can reduce crime through foreclosure tracking. The Los Angeles Police Department West Valley Division needs the communities help in locating all of the foreclosures in the San Fernando Valley. The department has seen a rise in criminal activity in the area where foreclosures have been reported. Criminals have been using foreclosed houses as crash pads or home bases for criminal activity. LAPD's goal is to identify the location of the foreclosures so they can monitor them for any activity and take proactive steps in reducing crime. Please go to www.westvalleypolice.org and click on the foreclosure link on the left side of the main page. Thanks in advance for your assistance with this if you have any questions please call West Valley Community Relations Office at 818-374-7690.

Thank you Eric Lim

Youth Board Member Eric Lim resigned in April to focus on his school work. We thank him for his service to the community.

Winnetka Surprised by Parking Restrictions

The City has recently installed peak hour parking restrictions on Winnetka between Vanowen Street and Victory Boulevard. Neither the residents nor the Winnetka NC were ever informed about these restrictions prior to their installation and stakeholders expressed concern at our April 2012 meeting.

Glenn Bailey, Vice-Chair of the Bicycle Advisory Committee for the City of Los Angeles has been following this construction project for well over a year, anticipating that bicycle lanes would be installed upon completion of the bridge widening. He hoped that the existing bicycle lanes would be extended from their current terminus at Gault Street south to Victory Boulevard (or hopefully even further south to the Pierce College entrance Brahma Drive). This would be in compliance with the City's 2010 Bicycle Plan, which was adopted by the City Council in March 2011. The plan designates Winnetka Avenue as part of the City's backbone network between Ventura Boulevard to Devonshire Street.

However, the newly installed peak hour parking restrictions along Winnetka Avenue between Vanowen and Victory have unnecessarily created a dangerous condition for bicyclists along this stretch as the right lanes are too narrow to be shared. They have also precluded the installation of the bicycle lanes. And those parked were surprised by tow trucks.

The WNC plans to have someone from the City at our June 12 meeting to explain why this happened and discuss future plans for Winnetka Avenue.

DWP Update

The DWP held a meeting about their Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) on April 7, 2012. WNC Boardmember Bettie Ross-Blumer attended and has provided her notes about DWP's actions to balance rate increases with work required to restore the Owens Valley and reduce our dependence on coal. DWP MOA notes.
