3. CAR BREAK-IN
A resident on Le Conte Ave. reported that sometime last night and before 7 am this morning, someone opened her unlocked car and rifled through the console. Nothing of value was in the car- nothing of value taken. Please take appropriate precautions with your own cars and property –it is important for us to be vigilant- especially this time of year.
4. WEST L.A. VA – COMMENTS ON MASTER PLAN
This is the last call for comments before the VA submission of the Final Draft Master Plan. We need your help to ensure all voices are heard! The comment period ends December 7th.
Read the plan and provide your feedback here.
At the end of the public comment period, the VA will review the comments received, post summary responses into the Federal Register via a second notice, ready the Preliminary Draft Final Master Plan for environmental and historic preservation due diligence, and prepare a Final Master Plan for the VA West Los Angeles Campus.
