Fletcher's Due for a Makeover

Mitch O'Farrell, the field deputy for Los Angeles Councilman Eric Garcetti, recently gave an overview of the Glassell Park Streetscape Masterplan, in case you missed it. Fletcher is going to get a makeover and the city wants your input. O'Farrell is encouraging residents to "dream big." The first workshop on the plan is to be held from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday, May 5 at Council District 13 Field Office, 3750 Verdugo Road, Glassell Park. Folks have already been weighing in on the project. At the Glassell Park Kick-off meeting April 11, Marie Conte stressed the importance of maintaining a neighborhood identity; Luis Lopez (whose auto shop is on Fletcher in Atwater Village) and Sandra Caravella asked about the project boundaries; and James Bond asked to have zoning issues clarified.

This photo is from Lopez's Web site, a historic shot of an earlier auto shop on Fletcher.

East of the 5

The news and views from Glendale, Burbank and adjacent 'hoods, brought to you by Daily News reporter Alex Dobuzinskis (And yes, we know a chunk of Burbank is WEST of the 5, but "Mostly East of the 5" doesn't quite have the same ring to it.)
