2. HOLMBY WESTWOOD GREEN TEAM – TREE SURVEY
The HWPOA Green Team is again working with the UCLA Geography Department to study Holmby Westwood’s valuable “urban forest.” Over the next 4-5 weeks you may see students working in pairs throughout the neighborhood measuring the height and diameter of our street trees and photographing them. The students are working on refining the Holmby Westwood Street Tree Inventory to give us more complete information on our trees—both the range of species in the neighborhood and an assessment of their condition. Please welcome the students as they complete their work.

Get a Speed Bump on Your Street!
Applications open at 8:00 am Wednesday, May 1 to request a speed bump on your street. Only 30 requests are accepted per City Council District, so the process is highly competitive. Applications usually sell out the morning they open, so make sure you set an alarm to file yours at 8:00 am SHARP on 5/1! Apply at http://tiny.cc/SpeedBump
4. LAPD CRIME REPORT
BICYCLE – STOLEN
Incident #: 190808869
HILGARD AV & LINDBROOK DR | 4/21/2019 @ 7:30 AM
SECURITY SUGGESTIONS
A homeowner recently suggested several security measures that might deter criminals from entering your property:
Cowbells on gates – Try attaching a cowbell on gates or fences that criminals might climb. The clang of the cowbell will alert the homeowner and may scare away the criminal. Cowbells may be purchased on Amazon.
Video warning signs – Amazon also sells signs that say “Smile, You’re on Camera”, which can be posted outside of your home. Even if you don’t have video surveillance, the sign itself may be a deterrent to criminals who don’t want to be caught on camera.
5. PRESCRIPTION DRUG TAKE BACK DAY
The National Prescription Drug Take Back Day aims to provide a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposing of prescription drugs, while also educating the general public about the potential for abuse of medications. Come dispose of unused, unwanted or expired medication. Make some space in the medicine cabinet, help prevent misuse, and dispose of medication in an environmentally friendly way.
Location: 10833 Le Conte Ave (At the intersection of Tiverton Ave @ Le Conte Ave)
Date: Saturday, April 27th 10am-2pm.
Bring: Unused, expired, unwanted prescription and over-the-counter tablets/capsules.
Do Not Bring: Needles, sharps, syringes with needles, aerosols, pressurized containers, bloody or infectious waste, hydrogen peroxide
