Many of you have reached out about the Chetah Pro herbicide that killed so much vegetation on the Potrero Canyon hillsides. We are actively working with our City partners and community stakeholders to find a long-term, environmentally safe strategy for weed abatement at one of our favorite parks.

Annual Hope For Firefighters Day
Originating in 1998 after a tragic helicopter crash claimed the lives of three L.A. City Firefighters, Hope For Firefighters is the largest firefighter event in the nation, benefitting the Los Angeles Firemen’s Relief Association’s Widows, Orphans & Disabled Firemen’s Fund. The food provided by more than 25 fire stations, live music, and activities make it one of my favorite days of the year, but the day is also a somber reminder of the sacrifices our first responders and their families make every day to keep us safe. For more images from the event, visit my Flickr page.

I am glad to report that our partners at CalTrans have completed the realignment of lanes on the PCH north of Sunset Boulevard to ensure a smooth and safe flow of traffic following the mudslide at Tramonto. While this will help keep your coast up the coast less backed up by traffic, make sure to drive through this area with caution, watch for bicyclists, and note the posted speed limit of 35 miles per hour!
Brentwood Tree Stump Removal
During the historic rainstorms, a few trees in Brentwood collapsed onto the street and broke utility poles. DWP and StreetsLA cleaned the street and restored power, but unfortunately, the stumps were not removed. Once a neighbor alerted our office, we coordinated service for this site, and the stumps were removed on Thursday.
