3. NOISY ROOSTERS – COCK-A-DOODLE-DON’T
We have received complaints of roosters and/or chickens squawking in the very early hours of the morning. The noise can be heard on the west side of Holmby Park, between Comstock, Strathmore and Beverly Glen.
If you own roosters or chickens in that area, please take appropriate measures to address the noise issues. We would also appreciate it if you would please contact us at hwpoa@aol.com. Thank you.
4. 2020 CENSUS – TIME IS RUNNING OUT
The deadline to respond to the 2020 Census has been extended. If you haven’t done so already, please go to 2020Census.gov today to make sure you are counted.
Responding to the Census takes fewer than 10 minutes and helps secure funding for our community. The 2020 Census will also determine how congressional seats are apportioned and how federal dollars are distributed to state and local governments for education, healthcare, housing, and social safety net programs for the next 10 years.
Time is running out and there is no time like the present to make sure your census household information is submitted! The survey only takes a few minutes to complete and can be accessed by clicking on this link:
5. PARKING ENFORCEMENT RESUMES OCT. 15
Parking enforcement will resume beginning on Thursday, October 15, 2020 in the City of Los Angeles. In particular, the following situations which were relaxed will now be enforced:
- Residential street sweeping
- Expired registration
- Overnight/Oversize parking districts
- Peak/rush hour and gridlock zone parking restrictions
- Expired preferential parking district permits
During COVID lockdowns, the City only did partial enforcement — while the above-listed items were relaxed, enforcement had continued throughout for permit parking, meters, posted time limits, etc.
Relaxation of these restrictions was originally slated to end October 1, but the LA City Council voted on September 30 to push resuming enforcement back to October 15, to allow time for outreach to be conducted, notifying the public of the change.
Impounding of vehicles in which there is vehicle dwelling will meanwhile be delayed for 30-60 days, to allow time for development of a next steps plan.
