The Los Angeles City Council allocated $100,000 Tuesday to further support work by a dedicated street light repair crew covering Westside neighborhoods.<\/p>\n
In a 13-0 vote, the council approved a motion introduced by Councilwoman Katy Yaroslavsky, and seconded by Councilwoman Eunisses Hernandez. Yaroslavsky put forward the money from her Fifth District discretionary fund.<\/p>\n
The two council members who put forward the motion were absent during Tuesday\u2019s meeting.<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, Yaroslavsky and Councilwoman Traci Park partnered to establish a dedicated street light repair crew for their respective areas.<\/p>\n
The Fifth District includes Brentwood, Bel Air, Melrose and Hancock Park, among other areas. Park represents L.A.\u2019s coastal neighborhoods such as Venice, Pacific Palisades and Vista Del Mar.<\/p>\n
They initially provided a combined $500,000 for the crew. The council members have said the crew is necessary to accelerate repairs of inoperable street lights, which have been damaged by copper wire theft. A backlog of broken lights also needs to be addressed.<\/p>\n
Combined, the council members\u2019 districts had more than 1,100 open street light repair cases in the Westside, which they hope to address with their discretionary dollars.<\/p>\n
Other council members have used their own discretionary funding to support dedicated street light repair crews, including Hugo Soto-Martinez, Ysabel Jurado and Hernandez.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Los Angeles City Council allocated $100,000 Tuesday to further support work by a dedicated street light repair…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":632582,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5123],"tags":[1582,276,6283,25076,1258,2961,8143,224,5337,17251,625,5174,74935],"class_list":["post-839837","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-ca","tag-california","tag-council","tag-crew","tag-funding","tag-la","tag-light","tag-los-angeles","tag-losangeles","tag-repair","tag-street","tag-support","tag-westside"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116682302724289293","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/839837","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=839837"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/839837\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/632582"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=839837"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=839837"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=839837"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
