2. MISSING USPS MAIL BOXES
Thank you to everyone who responded with information regarding local mailboxes that were removed from the neighborhood. With the assistance of Congressman Ted Lieu’s office, we have submitted a request to the USPS to replace mailboxes at the following locations:
- The corner of Lindbrook and Manning
- The corner of Lindbrook and Malcolm
We have not yet received a reply from the USPS but we will keep you informed as we find out more information.
3. SENATE BILL 1120 – HOUSING BILL
SB 1120 is a bill that would allow developers to build accessory dwelling units on single-family lots. SB 1120 aims to build up existing residential neighborhoods, which are largely zoned for single-family housing, by making it easier to split lots and convert homes into duplexes.
The HWPOA Board of Directors voted to oppose this bill. Unfortunately, earlier this week, the State Senate passed the bill and it now awaits a vote in the Assembly before going to the Governor’s desk.
4. NOTE FROM THE YMCA
As part of our yearly charitable donations, the HWPOA Board of Directors recently voted to contribute $500 to the YMCA for use during this pandemic. We just received the following note from Aaron Donahue, Executive Director of the Collins & Katz Family YMCA:
As we continue to navigate these strange times, and the Y cruises toward reopening, I wanted to express my gratitude for HWPOA’s contributions to the Y recently.
Because of you and your outreach to others, the Y has been able to distribute over 5,000 healthy meals to our neighbors. Please check out the photos of the effort below. We anticipate carrying on the effort the next several weeks.
Please help us care for our neighbors, community and Y Family during these difficult times. www.ymcaLA.org/emergencyfund
5. ELECTRONIC WASTE DISPOSAL
Due to Covid-19, all S.A.F.E. Centers will be closed until further notice. All of the Mobile Collection Events have also been postponed.
Please do not place household hazardous materials in the trash or leave them outside of the S.A.F.E. Centers.
E-Waste may be scheduled for curbside collection by calling 1-800-773-2489 or by selecting Electronic Waste in the MyLA311 App.
6. LADWP – COVID SCAM ALERT
Scam Alert! This is NOT an LADWP program. Don’t fall victim to this SCAM! If you believe you’ve been a victim of a utility scam, report it to 1-800-DIAL-DWP.
7. PUBLIC ART IN LOS ANGELES
With most museums still closed, Public Art Is available to all. City Controller Ron Galperin has released a map of 200 sculptures, installations, murals and photos that exist in and on buildings, at parks and elsewhere throughout Los Angeles.
This map, accessible at lacontroller.org/cityart, makes the City’s Public Art database — overseen by the Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA) — available to Angelenos for the first time. Users can navigate the map to see the name of the artwork, its location, the name of the artist(s) and what type of art it is.
Everyone is encouraged to use the maps to discover the public art that already exists in our City parks and on our streets. Not only does public art inspire creativity and enhance neighborhood landscape, it is central to the identity of our Los Angeles communities.
