LETTER FROM LAPD CAPTAIN TO WEST LA COMMUNITY
Please see the attached letter from me to the West Los Angeles community regarding our preparations for potential protests and other activity as a result of Minneapolis Police Department Officer Chauvin’s trial. Freedom of speech and its exercise at peaceful protests are a cornerstone of democracy. The Department looks to protect that fundamental right while safeguarding the lives and property of the community. Whatever the outcome of the trial, we wish for everyone’s voice to be heard and their opinions respected. This can be done without violence or property damage.
Badge Note to the Community re Chauvin
Your West Los Angeles Community Police Station and I are here for you. Please let me know if you have any questions or specific concerns that you would like to discuss.
Sincerely,
Captain Jonathan Tom, Commanding Officer
West Los Angeles Area
3. DAYLIGHT SAVINGS REMINDER
Don’t forget to set your clocks forward one hour before you go to bed Saturday night, March 13. Daylight savings begins this Sunday, March 14! It’s time to “spring forward” – set your clocks forward one hour!
Daylight Saving Time is also a great time to check the things that keep us safe and ready for emergencies. It is a good time to replace the batteries in your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors, double check the expiration dates on your emergency kits and replace missing/expired items.
4. WESTSIDE PAVILION REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT
From Urbanize LA:
Westside Pavilion transforms into a Google office campus
New renderings for the more than $475-million development
In Rancho Park, real estate investment trust Hudson Pacific Properties remains hard at work on the redevelopment of the former Westside Pavilion shopping mall as a Google-anchored office campus.
The $475-million project, called One Westside, is being developed as a joint venture between Hudson Pacific and Macerich. The 1980 mall’s eastern wing – located at the southeast corner of Pico and Westwood Boulevards – is now being transformed into 584,000 square feet of offices with on-site parking and open space.
