1. L.A. COUNTY – WHAT’S OPEN
LA County’s Department of Public Health has prepared a helpful list of what’s open (or not) in LA County. Click link below:
Restaurants and Bars
On July 1, Governor Newsom announced that all bars would be closed immediately in Los Angeles and several other California counties. Indoor dining is no longer allowed in LA County, but restaurants can still offer outdoor dining, delivery, drive-thru, takeout, and curbside service.
Beaches to Close Over Holiday Weekend
LA County’s Department of Public Health (DPH) ordered the temporary closure of LA County beaches. Closures will begin July 3 at 12:01 a.m. through July 6 at 5:00 a.m., to prevent dangerous crowding that results in the spread of deadly COVID-19. In addition to the closure of all public beaches in LA County, the modified Health Order also includes:
- The closure of piers, public beach parking lots, beach bike paths (that traverse sanded portions of the beach), and beach access points.
- All recreational activities on beaches are prohibited.
- Firework shows and events are also prohibited this July 4th holiday weekend.
2. COVID-19 CASES BY REGION
Every day, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health releases updated data tracking the spread of COVID-19 cases throughout the region.

5. PARKING ENFORCEMENT UPDATE
Following a motion passed by the Los Angeles City Council, LADOT Parking Enforcement will extend current relaxed parking enforcement categories through July 31 to support Los Angeles residents as they stay safer at home. Relaxed parking rules will be in place through July and are subject to further extension.
LADOT has also extended the deadline for payment on existing parking fines. While residents are encouraged to pay any existing fines if they are able, there will be no increase in fines for failure to pay.
While certain parking regulations are relaxed, others remain enforced to ensure that emergency services and other city functions continue operation. See the link below for full details regarding enforcement:
LADOT Update – Relaxed Parking
6. TRAFFIC ADVISORY – SEPULVEDA CLOSURE
Sepulveda Blvd. (from Mountaingate Dr. to San Diego Fwy. underpass) is scheduled for cold planing beginning Sunday, June 28th through Wednesday, July 1st followed by resurfacing from Sunday, July 5th through Tuesday, July 7th from 8:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.
The public is advised to use Beverly Glen Dr. or other alternate routes due to full closures during scheduled work hours. If you have any questions, please contact Aida Valencia, Tobias Cristales or Orlando Maxwell at 818-756-8651.
7. LA SANITATION – WHAT GOES IN EACH BIN?
Blue is for recycling, green is for yard trimmings, and black is for refuse.
By placing material in the proper bins, you can prevent contamination that occurs when non-recyclable items are discarded in the BLUE bin and when anything other than yard trimmings are placed in the GREEN bin.
Non-recyclable items such as paper or boxes with grease or food residue, treated wood and wood-products, cloth/fabric, and fats/oils/grease in sealed containers belong in your BLACK bin.
Hazardous waste should be stored in a safe place at home, since our SAFE Centers are still closed.
If you have questions, need to request a new bin, or have items that are too large for your bins, please call our 24-hour Customer Care Center at 1-800-773-2489.
8. LAPD SWING BAND – VIRTUAL PERFORMANCE
From the LA Musical Salon at Westwood Library:
As all of you can understand, we’ve had to suspend our 2020 Free Concert Series @ Westwood Library because of the coronavirus lockdowns. We look forward to resuming our Series as soon as we are allowed to do so.
In the meantime, one of the concerts we had to cancel this year was the super-popular Los Angeles Police Department Swing Band’s Independence Day concert.
To help us get over the disappointment, the LAPD Band sent us this fun Zoom concert of John Philip Sousa’s “Stars & Stripes Forever,” which we want to share with you in honor of our country’s birth on the 4th of July. Check it out, and put a smile on your face! Click on the image to go to the video on Youtube.
Have a wonderful 4th! Stay safe and healthy, and we’ll look forward to seeing you all again in person as soon as we can.
9. SUMMER PLAY LA – YOUTH PROGRAM
This summer, the City is providing physical distancing, safe, and fun programs for youth ages 6 to 14 at forty-six LA City Parks. Enroll your child in affordable programming with activities such as non-contact sports, fitness programs, arts and crafts, and more. All programs follow guidance from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health and the American Camping Association.
