I had a great time celebrating Easter with the community at David M. Gonzales Recreation Center. Families and children came together for our Spring Eggstravaganza Easter Egg Hunt. Thank you to the Community Safety Partnership (CSP) officers and other community partners for making this event happen.
I’m proud to have brought the first CSP to the San Fernando Valley. In the two years since its launch, I enjoy seeing the improved relations and collaboration between law enforcement and the community they serve.

It was a productive Saturday morning at the MRod Volunteer Corp cleanup at Finn Community Garden in Tujunga. Volunteers removed overgrown vegetation and weeds and refreshed the garden beds with new compost and amendments. Thank you to the community members who generously give their time and labor to help improve our treasured garden.
Also, thank you to the Office of Community Beautification and LA Sanitation for providing tools and a dumpster, and Republic Waste Services and their partner Agromin for providing compost to prepare the beds for new planting.
If you are interested in gardening and growing food, sign up for your own garden bed for just $150/year by emailing finncommgarden@gmail.com. As we enter Earth Month, if you would like to support this garden, by donating, volunteering, or sponsoring a plot for someone else in need of food access, go to their website at https://www.finncommunitygarden.com/.

We are working with LADOT Official and Streets LA to bring connectivity and greater accessibility to active transportation along Osborne St. in Pacoima. Your input is needed to frame what forms of transportation options you want to see, what neighborhood destinations should serve as key connections, and how we can better utilize the Hansen Dam recreational facilities for the Active Transportation Program grant.
To learn more about the projects, join LADOT in their upcoming workshop on April 9, 2022, from 2 – 4 PM at Hansen Dam Skatepark. RSVP today by visiting https://ladot.lacity.org/pacoimarsvp.

In 2017, a bicyclist was struck in a hit-and-run collision while riding along La Tuna Canyon Road, a popular biking route in our district, and unfortunately sustained life-altering injuries. This tragic incident led to a collaborative process between my office, LADOT Official, and community members to design and implement many improvements along La Tuna Canyon Road between Sunland Boulevard and Tujunga Canyon Boulevard, in order to decrease speeds, discourage unsafe passing, and provide dedicated lanes for vulnerable users of this road.
While many of these traffic safety improvements were implemented in 2018, the planned new mile-long buffered bike lane along La Tuna Canyon Road between the 210 freeway and Tujunga Canyon Boulevard required for this section of road to be resurfaced. My staff worked with StreetsLA to resurface and restripe this stretch of La Tuna Canyon Road last month, and are pleased that the new, improved striping plan has now been implemented, creating a safer buffered bike lane.
This La Tuna Canyon Road safety project has, so far, more than halved the incidence of collisions resulting in serious injuries or fatalities along this stretch. If you know of an area in need of traffic safety improvements, please contact my Tujunga district office at (818) 352-3287.
