2. RELAXED PARKING DURING THE JEWISH HOLIDAYS
The Council Office has notified us that parking will be relaxed in our community during the upcoming Jewish holidays. For a complete list of dates and locations where the parking rules will be relaxed, please CLICK HERE.
Please note that portions of Strathmore and Westholme near Hillel will not have relaxed parking, per Hillel’s conditional use permit.
We wish you a happy and sweet New Year! L’ Shanah Tovah!
3. SAFE SIDEWALKS LA REBATE PROGRAM
On October 1st, the City’s Bureau of Engineering re-opened the City’s Sidewalk Rebate Program. The Sidewalk Rebate Program reimburses eligible property owners for a portion of the cost of their sidewalk repair.
The program will accept new applications for a limited time, based on available funding. Property owners within the City of Los Angeles with sidewalks that are not compliant with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements are eligible to participate.
For more information, please take a look at the Safe Sidewalks LA website – click here.
4. NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS MONTH
September is National Preparedness Month – we are a little late in posting this information from LADWP, but better late than never!
Have you considered what you would do in the event of an emergency or natural disaster? As part of National Preparedness Month, we encourage all our LADWP customers to take some time to put a plan in place and practice it with your family. Plan ahead and determine important matters including emergency supplies, medical needs, evacuation sites, first aid and much more. There are several tips and references on ready.gov/plan . Remember, “It’s better to have, and not need, than to need, and not have.”

Instructions, all equipment, coffee and refreshment will be offered. Free.
Dress is casual with smooth soled (tennis or deck) shoes. Those who are interested to return and learn more, will be offered vouchers for three more free lessons on other days.

Interested residents should call (RSVP) Philip Fox, 310.273.7776 and/or visit www.losangeleslawnbowling.com for more information.
Fall Migration Bird Walks at the UCLA Botanical Garden – Thursdays 8-9am, 10/3 – 11/13. Fall is here, and birds across California and the Northern Hemisphere are migrating south. Many rely on green spaces in urban areas to rest and refuel for the next leg of the journey south.
Join the Bruin Birding Club this fall to watch for migrating warblers, flycatchers, tanagers, vireos, thrushes and more each Thursday in the UCLA Botanical Garden. Everyone from UCLA and the broader community is welcome to join–bring binoculars if you have them. Meet at the La Kretz Garden Pavilion, no RSVP required.
