1. METRO PURPLE LINE ROAD WORK
Metro contractors are performing field work as part of the planning for Section 3 of the Purple Line Extension. The current work will include geophysical testing to gather further information about the geological conditions.
The upcoming work will begin January 23rd through February 10th. The work will take place in the area around Comstock Ave. and Santa Monica Blvd. and Beverly Glen Blvd. Please note this work will take place at night from 9pm to 6am Monday-Friday.

2. POWER OUTAGE UPDATE
Many of our homeowners have experienced a number of power outages in recent weeks (as well as over the years). The HWPOA Board is working with the LADWP to find answers. We plan to have a representative from the LADWP at our next board meeting on Monday, February 13 to discuss the issue. We will let you know when we have more information.
3. SANTA MONICA BLVD. PROJECT IN BEVERLY HILLS
Next week, the City of Beverly Hills will break ground on the North Santa Monica Boulevard Reconstruction project. The Project will reconstruct a segment (approximately 1.5 miles) of North Santa Monica Boulevard extending from Wilshire Boulevard to Doheny Drive in the City of Beverly Hills.
The North Santa Monica Boulevard Reconstruction project will rehabilitate aging infrastructure, maintain vehicular flow, enhance mobility, and create an aesthetically attractive “Green Street”.

GROUP FOR PEOPLE WITH A CHRONIC LUNG CONDITION
I host a meeting every other month for people with chronic lung conditions other than TB or cancer. It’s a very informal support and information group, free of charge, that has been ongoing for about 15 years.
We are affiliated with a national non-profit organization, NTM Info & Research (NTMir), formed on behalf of patients with pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) disease for the purpose of patient support, medical education, and research. The organization comprises patients, physicians and other medical practitioners, and researchers.
Our group is open to all and the next meeting will be on Monday, January 23, at 1:15 p.m. at my house, 641 Warner Avenue, in Westwood.
In addition, on February 14, we have a special opportunity to hear Dr. Ed Chan, Professor of Medicine-Pulmonary Sciences and Critical Care at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, during his visit to Southern California. This meeting will also take place at my house at 1:15.
Please feel free to contact me for more information. I look forward to speaking with you and meeting you!
