4. WARNER AVE. SCHOOL EVENT – STREET CLOSURES
Warner Avenue Elementary School will hold its annual Warner Walk on Friday, April 26, 2024 from 1:00am – 2:00pm. This is a kid-centered event where the students raise funds to support the school and provide a better education for their futures. As in past years, the surrounding blocks around the school–Warner, Loring, Holmby, and Woodruff–will be closed. The Department of Transportation will block off this part of the street to allow the children to participate safely in the Warner Walk.
The Department of Transportation will officially close the streets on Friday, April 26th from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. However, in order to minimize your inconvenience, we will allow minimal access to those houses directly across from the school on each block until 10:00 am. According to the Los Angeles police regulations, barricades must be put up and cars must also block the road to allow for maximum safety from 8:00 am-4:00 pm but we will have a small access point and volunteer at each corner until 10:00 am for limited access.
All vehicles will need to be removed from the street by 8:00 am no through traffic will be allowed to enter or exit between the hours of 8:00am and 4:00pm Friday. The Tow Away / No Parking restrictions will be strictly enforced during these hours.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience the street closure may cause your family. We hope you’ll come and enjoy the fun! Thank you for your continued support of our neighborhood school and our activities.
