Thank you to the many Westside residents who attended the LAHSA Commission hearing last week. Here on the Westside, as we conduct encampment interventions to move people off the streets, communities across the district benefit from restored, safe access to our shared public spaces and sensitive areas. As a Council Office, we are taking a balanced approach to addressing homelessness and working every day to make long-term changes that will help our City out of this crisis.
Last May, we were really excited when the County opened the portion of the Marvin Braude bike and pedestrian path connecting Santa Monica to Pacific Palisades. Unfortunately, during a recent storm, the newly constructed portion at Will Rogers State Beach collapsed, closing this section to cyclists and pedestrians.
Although the city did not build this bridge, I want to make sure things are moving quickly. That's why I introduced a motion asking our City departments to report on the damage and repair efforts so the trail can be reopened for public use. We will continue to keep you updated as things move forward.
Join us on April 4, 2024 for another virtual community meeting on the Venice ABH site.

We are hard at work clearing our sidewalks and shared public spaces across the Westside. Next week, we will introduce a new Clean Team to our District, which will help us further our efforts to build a #Better11.
Three years ago, Armen Melkonyan, Levon Melkonyan, and Armen Bislamian embarked on their venture by leasing Davy Jones Liquor Locker in Venice. Their mission? To provide the community with fresh produce, curated pantry staples, and a welcoming space for locals and tourists alike. Nestled in the neighborhood off Navy Street and Pacific Avenue, Davy Jones not only caters to everyday needs but also offers an upstairs event space, adding another dimension to its charm. Whether you're a local seeking a key ingredient or a visitor on a day trip, Davy Jones ensures quality goods and a cozy seaside ambiance.
