A note regarding parking:
 
Dear Warner Ave. Parents: 


My name is Sarah Mallory and I am the Westwood Field Deputy for Councilmember Paul Koretz, who represents the Fifth Council District in the great City of Los Angeles.

I know a few of you have become more aware of this fact more recently due to an issue with parking surrounding the school. The City's Department of Transportation just had their policies changed for all relaxations of preferential parking, which led to miscommunication and misunderstandings. However, thanks to the work of the Councilmember, your amazing Principal Corwen and many active parents, all has been resolved! The "relaxation" of preferential parking restrictions (noted by signs in the neighborhood) surrounding the school will remain.

So, please know that the following locations will continue to have relaxed parking based on the requests from Warner Ave. Elementary:

1. Both sides of Holmby Ave. between Loring Ave. and Le Conte Ave.
2. Both sides of Le Conte Ave. between Holmby Ave. and Warner Ave.
3. Both sides of Warner Ave. between Strathmore Ave. and Le Conte Ave.
4. Both sides of Loring Ave. between Thayer Ave. and Wyton Dr.
5. Both sides of Woodruff Ave. between Warner Ave. and Wyton Dr.
6. Both sides of Strathmore Ave. Between Warner Ave. and Wyton Ave.
7. Both sides of Wyton Dr. between Loring Ave. and Strathmore Ave.

This will remain in effect for all school days, Monday - Friday from 8:00 am to 9:00 am and 2:15 pm to 3:15 pm for the month of October. Also, Tuesdays have early release, so relaxation would also include 1:00 pm - 3:15 pm on that day of the week.

I apologize for the confusion or stress this may have caused, but I am happy to see that all has been resolved due to the quick work of everyone involved and the direct request of Councilmember Koretz. If you have any further questions or concerns about this issue or any other affecting your neighborhood, please feel free to contact me by email at sarah.mallory@lacity.org or through my office at 310.289.0353. Additionally, please sign up HERE to receive Council District 5 updates via our newsletter if you would like to learn more about the goings on of CD 5!


Warm regards,
Sarah Mallory
