Woodland Hills Warner Center Neighborhood Council to hold 'Panel of Visionaries'

The Woodland HIlls Warner Center Neighborhood Council's community forum on Saturday, Oct. 18, will feature a "Panel of Visionaries" offering different perspectives and strategies for addressing current transportation issues in the west San Fernando Valley.

The forum will be held from 8:30 a.m.-noon at the AMC Promenade Theater, 21801 Oxnard St., Woodland Hills. It will include a complimentary breakfast.

The panel will include L.A. Councilmember Wendy Greuel, Assemblymember Mike Feuer, Allison Yoh of the Rand Corp and Donald Shoup of UCLA.

Greuel is a champion of the city's strategic transportation plan, a comprehensive citywide vision that requires an investment in long-term planning.

Feuer is leading the charge with Measure R, a proposed 0.5 percent sale tax for transportation funding, which would generate $40 billion for transportation improvements throughout L.A. County.

Yoh is a former board member of the Metro and a member of the Rand Corp. team responsible for the recently released report "Moving Los Angeles," which offers Angelenos short-term transportation solutions that can be implemented during the next five years.

Shoup is a professor of urban planning at UCLA and author of "The High Cost of Free Parking," which establishes parking as a key link between transportation and land use, with important consequences for the community, economy and environment.
