1. STREET REPAIR REQUESTS
The Bureau of Street Services has scheduled a Small Asphalt Repairs (SAR) truck (which is described as 1 small asphalt repair truck, consisting of 2 workers and asphalt), for the Westwood Neighborhood Council area, to perform small asphalt repairs on August 26, 2019.
The Westwood Neighborhood Council has asked us to submit suggested locations in our neighborhood for small street repairs. The city will only send the SAR truck to a total of 15 locations in the entire Westwood Neighborhood Council area, so Holmby Westwood will only see a handful of repairs.
The type of repairs that can be addressed with this program include the following:
– Potholes and pop outs
– Skin patching of eroded or cracked areas
– Some repairs on concrete streets
If you are aware of any spots in our neighborhood that would be particularly good candidates for this program, please send requests to Dana at hwpoa@aol.com no later than Wednesday, August 7. Please only send street repair requests, not sidewalks or curbs.
NOTE: Street repaving is not part of this program. Please do not submit requests to repave streets.

Successful completion of this session will provide community members with the minimum training needed to participate in the Community Volunteer Patrol Program.
The academy is designed to give community members an overview of the Los Angeles Police Department’s policies and procedures. The curriculum and teaching methods are similar to our traditional police academy.
Through the Community Police Academy, enrolled students will be encouraged to volunteer at their local police station and build a lasting partnership with the Department. Doing so will greatly contribute to our ultimate goal of reducing crime and improving the quality of life in our neighborhoods.
Each community member must meet the following criteria:
- Must be 18 years or older
- Live or work in Operations-West Bureau
- No prior felony convictions
- No outstanding warrants
- No pending criminal cases
- Must be approved by an Area Commanding Officer
