From Assemblymember Luz Rivas Desk – Happy Birthday Ritchie Valens!

Happy Birthday Ritchie Valens!

Today I was honored to join the unveiling ceremony of the Ritchie Valens Post Office. The renaming of the Pacoima postal office was in tribute to the great legacy left behind by the beloved Rock and Roll legend.
Ritchie Valens set a leading example for future generations and showed our community we have the ability to build and leave behind legacies. Ritchie Valens inspires so many of our community members and reminds us of our power to accomplish amazing things. Ritchie Valens will always remain in our hearts in Assembly District 39.
Thank you to U.S. Rep. Tony Cárdenas for making this celebratory commemoration possible to honor Ritchie Valens. #AD39

From Assemblymember Luz Rivas Desk – Road Closure Alert, Caltrans District 7 will be Closing the I-210 Westbound to SR-118 Westbound Connector

#RoadClosureAlert

From Friday, May 13, at 10:00pm through Monday, May 16, at 5:00am, Caltrans District 7 will be closing the I-210 westbound to SR-118 westbound connector in the San Fernando Valley for roadwork and maintenance. This project will upgrade the overhead sign structures, traffic loop detectors, center median barrier, and guardrail system.
The work is part of a $135.5 million project replacing all lanes on I-210 with new pavement from Wheatland Avenue to I-5. This funding comes from Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.

Residents and local businesses located near the freeway may experience noise, vibrations, and dust associated with the roadwork. Please remember to drive safe, follow directions, and expect delays.

From Assemblymember Luz Rivas Desk – Pleasure of Conducting Oath of Office of Hector Cabrera

About a year ago, my office hosted a State Appointments Workshop in order to demystify the appointment process to becoming a State Board appointee or Commissioner. Hector Cabrera from Sylmar attended my workshop with the strong desire to serve #AD39 and the State.

I had the pleasure of conducting his oath of office. I was proud to support his recent appointment to the California Board of Occupational Therapy by Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon.
Prior to his appointment, Hector dedicated almost 30 years of his professional career to providing and increasing access to vital social services in the Los Angeles region and spent 16 years as an active member of the Sylmar Neighborhood Council.

I am immensely proud of Hector and hope to continue to support more leaders and appointees from the Northeast San Fernando Valley!

About a year ago, my office hosted
