Clean Streets LA:
On April 23, 2015 Mayor Eric Garcetti signed Executive Directive Number 8 (ED NO. 8) launching this initiative into effect. As part of this initiative, Clean Streets LA aims at improving livability and cleanliness in the City of Los Angeles by targeting litter and debris on City streets, sidewalks and alleys. Your West Hills Neighborhood Council Beautification Committee is committed to ensuring
success through our monthly clean-ups, our coordination with relative City departments in ensuring your service requests are being answered, and other additional outreach efforts to educate our community about this important cause. Help us and help our community by joining us at our community clean-ups or committee meeting in our efforts to beautify West Hills.

WHNC Lazy J. Ranch Replacement Project Recommendations:
At the October 2016 of the West Hills Neighborhood Council Beautification Committee, a representative of Councilmember Mitchel Englander's office notified the committee that the orginial fencing surronding Lazy J. Ranch Park in West Hills has rusted and deteriorated beyond repair and would need to be replaced. Given two options, with a third additional option discussed at our October meeting, the Beautification Committee sought out public info to see what fencing options would the community want in this popular West Hills park.
For more information about the fence replacement project, our survey results, and our recommendations to the City of Los Angeles, CLICK HERE.
West Hills 311 Walks:
This is a great opportunity to bring along family, neighbors, friends and pets while improving our community and getting some healthy exercise at the same time! The free MyLA311 app is a powerful mobile tool that enables citizens to request a broad range of services. Whether you are reporting a pothole on your street or illegal dumping in your alley, you can use MyLA311 report your concerns quickly, easily and at any time.
Los Angeles Countywide Comprehensive Parks & Recreation Needs Assessment:
The County of Los Angeles in 2015 conducted a countywide assessment of the need for parks and recreation in both cities and unincorporated areas. The goal of the Park Needs Assessment was to engage all communities within the County in a collaborative process to gather data and input for future decision-making on parks and recreation. The Park Needs Assessment will increase our understanding of existing park and recreation assets, and help us to determine how to improve, expand, and make them more accessible. Specifically, the final report will determine Study Areas and will identify, prioritize and outline costs for potential park projects within each Study Area. Below are the results from the study's final report on the status of parks in West Hills.- Parks North of Roscoe
- Parks West of Fallbrook South of Roscoe
- Parks East of Fallbrook South of Roscoe
