New Mural at 8th and Wall Street
There's a new mural in the Fashion District by Polish street artist duo Etam Cru. "Mr. Rooster" is their second major mural in the U.S. and depicts a "young country boy looking over the smoggy city of Los Angeles." The mural was featured on the popular art magazine Hi Fructose. See the feature here.
El Niño is Here. Help Prevent Flooding!
|
| | Flooding at 14th and Los Angeles Streets caused by clogged sewers and illegal dumping. |
El Niño has officially arrived and with it the first storms of the season. Clean and Safe Team staff worked around the clock this week to help alleviate flooding in the Fashion District. In some areas the water flow was so heavy that it popped off manhole covers (pictured above). Most flooding was caused by clogged and/or blocked sewers.
The Clean Team is currently working to clean out sewer drains and remove blockage from grates on all main streets in the district, but we ask you to help us prevent future flooding by not disposing of your trash on the street or overflowing BID trash cans, as the wind carries this trash into the sewers. Plastic bags have been especially problematic. We ask property owners to remind tenants to please dispose of trash in their appropriate dumpsters.

Homeless belongings stored in sewers are another big culprit of flooding.
