La Puente residents beware
It appears unauthorized street curb painters have invaded the city.
I just spotted this flyer on the city's Web site that says some residents have "received flyers
indicating street addresses will be painted on the curbs in their neighborhoods."
The only problem is the city hasn't authorized these people to do the work.
Tania, get your facts straight. I called city hall and they said that the authorized curb painter is Canning Hunger and the service is by donation only. Curb address painting is valuable for police and fire response to emergencies. A portion of the donation goes directly to feed the poor. It's a great service. There are illegal curb painters out there that typically work in the LA County areas and drift into La Puente. All you have to do is ask for there permit issued by the City. Very simple
