Woodland Hills Neighborhood Council: June 2008 Archives
More than 300 people attended the Destiny of the West Valley community forum recently, showing a commitment to making Woodland Hills-Warner Center a great neighborhood, according to Stephen Box, of the Woodland Hills Warner Center Neighborhood Council, which sponsored the event.
The day began with the usual questions about 311 and potholes, Box stated, and L.A. County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky summed up the event by encouraging residents to take charge of their neighborhood.
The Daily News wrote a story about the forum. You can read it by clicking here.
The next community forum about the West Valley will be held on Aug. 16, Box stated.
A community forum called "Destiny of the West Valley" will be held from 8-11:30 a.m. Saturday, June 21, in the auditorium at Kaiser Permanente Medical Center, 5601 De Soto Ave. Woodland Hills.
The free, public meeting, sponsored by the Woodland Hills Warner Center Neighborhood Council, will feature a panel of officials who will cover important issues that face the West Valley including traffic congestion, urban design, water reclamation, energy conservation, mass transit, accessibility, mobility, walkability and livability.
"I know many of you are as concerned as I am about our community and its quality of life," said Joyce Pearson, chair of the neighborhood council. "And only you, as a community, can bring a force for the right kind of change on our neighborhoods."
Denny Zane, former mayor of Santa Monica who spearheaded the revitalization of the Third Street Promenade, will address the economics of a walkable community as well as the funding sources for an effective mass transit system.
Gloria Ohland, vice president of Reconnecting America and host of the recent StreetCar Conference in LA, will present transportation options that improve the quality of life in the community, have a positive economic impact for property owners and that relieve congestion and provide viable choices for commuters.
Larry E. Smith, executive director of North East Trees and innovator behind the Green Streets project, will demonstrate how a commitment to improving the quality of life by restoring nature's services will result in water-reclamation standards that will be the envy of the city.
