|  | Each year, I have the distinct honor of hosting the Council District 12 Community Breakfast—a cherished tradition that allows me to express my deepest appreciation for the countless individuals who dedicate their time and energy to making our neighborhoods stronger and more vibrant. From dedicated city employees to staff of our countless service organizations to Neighborhood Council members, this year's Holiday Breakfast was once again a resounding success.
The commitment and passion of everyone in attendance (as well as those who couldn't join us) are truly beyond words. As a token of my gratitude for the community that shaped me, my team and I had the pleasure of surprising guests with a special Community Swearing-In ceremony led by none other than Mayor Karen Bass.
It is one of the greatest privileges of my life to serve as your Councilmember. As I begin my second term, I am more committed than ever to working alongside all of you to continue building a thriving community that we can all be proud of. Click here to see more pictures from the event. |
|  | | UPDATE ON STREET WIDENING AT BALBOA AND DEVONSHIRE |
|  | On Saturday, December 14, 2024, there will be extensive roadway work from approximately 5:00am – 5:00pm on Balboa Blvd. and Devonshire Street to remove the Phase 1 Traffic Control from the east side of the street and implement the Phase 2 Traffic Control on the west side.
On the east side of Balboa Blvd., the existing temporary signal pole will be removed, and the new traffic signal pole will be energized at the southeast corner. Workers will be removing k-rails and conducting grinding and street paving work.
On the west side of Balboa Blvd., workers will conduct street grinding and temporary striping. K-rails will be installed at the northwest and southwest corners, all in preparation for the upcoming reconstruction of the existing curb ramps and street work.
The overnight and weekend work has been scheduled in a way to be the least impacting to the surrounding community. We thank you for your patience as the contractor moves into the next phase of the project and would request that you use alternate routes this weekend. |
