This latest Draft K2.5 Map for District O makes sense for Laurel Canyon. A Unified Hillside District just makes sense. Common issues. Common Goals.
Together the Hillsides can better prepare for emergencies; fight over-development; protect the character of our neighborhoods, open space,and wildlife.
THE REDISTRICTING COMMISSION MUST HEAR FROM OUR COMMUNITY DURING THE PUBLIC HEARINGS IF WE ARE TO REMAIN UNITED AND AVOID A DIVIDE DOWN LAUREL CANYON BLVD.
The 2021 Redistricting Commission has been more transparent than any other commission in the history of this city. Maps have been drawn in public zoom meetings following Census Data, Voter Protection Rights, Communities of Interest, Neighborhood Council boundaries, and public comment.
The Valley districts being kept whole in the valley is not an arbitrary decision made by the commission to throw shade at any particular council member. The Valley has been demanding this for decades.
The Greater Wilshire Neighborhood Council was partially in District 5, their request to move their entire council into CD5 is based on the voter rights protections of their Jewish communities of interest. Again, this is not an arbitrary decision made by the commission, this was made based on voter rights protections and communities of interest.
Koreatown is being kept whole in District 10 in observance of voter rights protections, public comment, and neighborhood council boundaries.
It's very important to make sure that Laurel Canyon's voice is not lost during the Public Hearings on Map K 2.5. The Commission Chairman is reaching out to all communities and asking them to speak at the upcoming meetings.
What's at stake?
One of our biggest issues as a community is fire/emergency evacuation.
Having a coherent plan in place for the entire area is important.
If you agree, let the commission know.
In a worst-case scenario, Laurel Canyon comes out of this redistricting process split down the middle of Laurel Canyon Blvd. And a third district claims Sunset Blvd and 8150 Sunset. We can prevent this with strong public comments from the community.
