It would only take one ill-planned project to completely cut off wildlife movement between the 405 and 101 Freeways. Therefore it is important that the five hillside councilmembers who represent the area and appoint the Mulholland Design Review Board (MDRB) hear from the public. Please contact your council office and encourage your representative to rescind the MDRB Decision by Director Bertoni:
Councilmember Paul Krekorian, CD 2
Email: councilmember.krekorian@lacity.org
(213) 473-7002
Councilmember Bob Blumenfield. CD 3
Email: councilmember.blumenfield@lacity.org
(213) 473-7003
Councilmember Nithya Raman, CD4
Email: contactCD4@lacity.org
(213) 473-7004
Councilmember Paul Koretz, CD 5
Email: paul.koretz@lacity.org
(213) 473-7005
Councilmember Mike Bonin, CD 11
Email: councilmember.bonin@lacity.org
(213) 473-7011
Key points you can include are:
- The Director's decision will result in the degradation of the ecological and watershed health of the eastern Santa Monica Mountains.
- The Director's reduction of MDRB public review will have adverse environmental impacts.
- The MDRB brings professional expertise at no public cost, and the Director's decision removes their oversight.
- The MDRB oversight and public review must not be reduced until other environmental analysis and protective ordinances have been put in place.
- The Director should not take oversight away from the MDRB, but instead redirect his planning staff to perform environmental review to protect the region's large mountain lion habitat and comply with state law.
