1. TREE TRIMMING IN WESTWOOD VILLAGE
From the Westwood Village Improvement Association (WVIA):
The annual WVIA tree trimming has begun in Westwood Village and will continue through Friday, August 17. The trimming will be conducted between 6:00 am and 4:00 pm.
During this period, you may see temporary “No Parking” signs on the meters and poles, which will be removed once the trimming is finished. While the tree trimming is in progress, some noise may be experienced. We appreciate your understanding and patience during this time.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions, concerns, or feedback. We value your input and would love to hear your thoughts once the work is completed.
