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.
