Beachwood Canyon Neighborhood Association Fall Meeting 
Monday, September 16th at 7 p.m. 

 


BCNA logo
This has been a busy summer. BCNA has been hard at work with the other neighborhood organizations surrounding the Hollywood Sign to find solutions for handling the traffic gridlock brought about by the increase in tourism. We should have an update on the outcome of the Aug 28th Transportation Cmte meeting.

We have also been working with leaders from all over Los Angeles and beyond to stop this Millennium Hollywood project. We will have an update on the lawsuit to be filed early next week. 

We are anticipating Assemblymember Mike Gatto as his office requested a space on our agenda. Other topics will be local issues like a crime report from our Senior Lead Officer and a tourism update from community leaders. We are inviting Council District 4 to attend as well as West Traffic. 

Meeting Monday September 16 at 7 p.m.
Beachwood Cafe, 2695 Beachwood Dr. 

This Fall we will meet at the Beachwood Cafe courtesy of owner, Patti Peck. Please be on time. Light refreshments will be served!

Your attendance is important at these meetings. We need to hear your comments and suggestions to make these discussions productive and meaningful. 


  

   

 

Legal Action:

 

The Notice of Determination for the Millennium project was filed on July 30th so, the deadline for filing the lawsuit to stop this project is Wednesday, August 28th, 2013.

 

Fundraising:

 

Volunteers at StopTheMillenniumHollywood.org are pursuing the creation of a video to launch a Crowd Funding campaign through Indiegogo. We're looking for a diverse cross section of people to participate in the video, particularly those under 30 years old.

 

Please reply to [email protected] with suggestions for participants and we will coordinate with them for Lights, Camera, Action and Fundraising! Meanwhile, we need to continue the fundraising, including getting the word out to those who have not yet donated.


Please ask your friends to go to StopTheMillenniumHollywood.org and donate
TODAY! 

 

We remain focused on the issues:

 

Skyscrapers in the heart of Hollywood - TOO MASSIVE

 

Building Skyscrapers on Active Earthquake Fault - TOO DANGEROUS

 

Adding 20,000 to 30,000 car trips per day to the area - TOO MUCH  

 

Ignoring local and State opposition - ARROGANT

 

Hiding information from the public - CRIMINAL

 

The only way this will happen is with TEAMWORK.

Kitty is Missing!

  

 

Ricco's Kitty is Missing

 

Her name is actually Kitty. She's all white with very blue eyes. She's been missing for almost two weeks. Normally she lives indoors but she snuck out and hasn't been home since. Hopefully somebody picked her up.

 

She was last seen on Deronda at the very top near her home.

 

If you have her or have seen her, please call Ricco at 323-300-6146 or send him an email at [email protected]
