Councilwoman Park Hosts Tom Wolf In Venice Beach
It was great to host my friend Tom Wolf in Venice. A formerly-homeless, recovering addict from the Tenderloin District in San Francisco, Tom spent time in jail before entering in-patient treatment and finding recovery. Tom has been influential in policy debates around harm reduction, housing first, and the role of courts in addressing homelessness and addiction. I had the chance to walk with him in San Francisco last fall to see the progress there, so it was great to show him the work we've done on the Westside.
Brentwood Hosts LAPD Roll Call
On Wednesday, LAPD’s West LA Division held its morning roll call in Brentwood. We are so grateful for the increased presence of patrol officers on the Westside and the chance for residents to get acquainted with our local police officers. Thank you to the Brentwood HOA for organizing and hosting roll call!

George Wolfberg Park Wins Architectural Award
I’m thrilled to share that George Wolfberg Park at Potrero Canyon has received the Chairman’s Award at the 54th LA ArchitecturalAwards! This 46-acre park, a result of decades of community advocacy, now offers scenic trails and a restored natural habitat in the Palisades. It’s a true example of design enhancing public spaces for everyone to enjoy.
Hazardous Palisades Tree Trimmed
A few weeks ago, my staff received outreach from a family in the Pacific Palisades who direly needed help. The eucalyptus tree next to their home has regularly dropped heavy branches, some nearly landing on people. They asked our office for help in having the Urban Forestry Division trim the tree, and earlier this week, we got it done.
Protecting Revello Drive Ahead Of Storms
On Thursday, Team CD11 partnered with the Bureau of Engineering to place sandbags along Revello and Castellammare in the Pacific Palisades. As we prepare for our rainy, these sandbags will help prevent flood damage. A huge thank you to our deputies Michael, Sean, and Trey for their help filling and transporting the sandbags for our friends in the Palisades.
Every week, your CD11 Beautification Team and our City Departments are working all over the Westside to make improvements, big and small. If an area in your neighborhood needs special attention, please contact our Westchester District Office for assistance.
My Park's Pick this week is Hume, a brand new wellness club in Venice at Windward Circle.
