1. BACK TO SCHOOL SAFETY
This Tuesday, August 20th is the first day of school for LAUSD. Please be careful when driving around the neighborhood at drop-off and pick-up times, and if you are a parent of a student, please observe all safety regulations when dropping off or picking up your children. Let’s keep the neighborhood safe!
2. LAPD CRIME REPORT
BURGLARY FROM VEHICLE
Incident #: 190814109
HOLMBY & WILSHIRE | 8/12/2019 @ 10:00 PM
PREVENT RESIDENTIAL BURGLARIES
It is important to remain vigilant and not become complacent when it comes to securing and safeguarding our homes, automobiles, and persons.
Immediate Detection, Notification, and Verification Technology is critical in determining when a crime is occurring or about to occur. An alarm alone is no longer sufficient. There must be a secondary immediate means of notification and verification to support whether or not the alarm is valid or false.
Web based surveillance and doorbell camera systems will alert and allow homeowners to immediately view and monitor activity from any smartphone or computer which are motion sensor activated and will alert your device when there is activity. They will also lend valuable information and clues to the investigation.
3. HWPOA GREEN TEAM UPDATE
Summer is here and the Green Team is hard at work. Team members on Dalehurst Avenue are beginning to canvas neighbors on the 300, 400 and 500 blocks of the street about replacing missing parkway trees. Working closely with an arborist and TreePeople, Green Team members analyzed the number of missing trees, the current street tree species and the City’s Approved Parkway Tree list. The Canary Island Pine was selected to fill in where trees are missing since it meets the City requirements, is disease resistant and drought tolerant and maintains the street’s existing pine character. Dalehurst has been identified as a “Dream Street” since close to 30 new trees can be planted. Introductory letters have been distributed to residents and the Green Team will begin knocking on doors for owner’s permission to plant and care for new trees, and to answer homeowner questions.
Green Team members also will be out this weekend assessing the care and maintenance needs of the 26 new trees that were planted on Malcolm and Manning Avenues earlier in the year. Subsequent to this assessment, a Tree Care and Maintenance Day will be held in early September with TreePeople to address the identified tree maintenance needs.
For information on the Dalehurst planting, contact Juliana Bancroft: julianabancroft10@gmail.com.
