TERA’s Comments on Rock The Boulevard Implementation Options

Over the past three months, the City of Los Angeles has presented three implementation options for bikeway infrastructure of TERA’s Rock The Boulevard project on Eagle Rock Boulevard. TERA prefers Option 2 as the concept that best works towards Rock The Boulevard’s goals of a safer, greener, and more pedestrian-friendly Eagle Rock Boulevard. Option 2 is the option that not only provides the safest and most comfortable space for pedestrians, but also preserves the most on-street parking and most well distributed on-street parking to provide access to our existing local businesses.

TERA further encourages Streets LA to study the community generated “Walkable Boulevard” concept, which would fine-tune Option 2 to allocate portions of unusable median space towards expanded sidewalks, space for new sidewalk trees, and space for Al Fresco dining for local businesses.

TERA Calls on Kevin de León to Resign

In a recent television interview on ABC7, Councilmember Kevin de León stated, “If it is my constituents’ decision that I move forward and step down then I’ll accept that.”

TERA—with the broader Eagle Rock community—unequivocally urges that the Councilmember resign. The time has come for him to stand by his word, accept this call, and resign.

Remove Councilman Huizar

Yesterday, TERA requested the City Council to take action to remove our Councilperson, José Huizar, from office. Given the allegations and criminal charges levied against him, we believe he should no longer serve as our City representative.

Take Back the Boulevard

Improvements related to TERA’s Take Back the Boulevard initiative continue to be made along Colorado Boulevard. The City is currently in Phase II of the project which includes street improvements such as new curb ramps and sidewalk repairs.
 
The City recently completed work near the intersection at Colorado Boulevard and Mount Helena Avenue. Depicted in the pictures above is ongoing work at Colorado Boulevard and Floristan Avenue.
 
Take Back the Boulevard, while conceived by TERA, has been a collaborative effort between us, Council District 14, the Los Angeles Bureau of Street Services, the Eagle Rock Neighborhood Council, and the community of Eagle Rock with the end goal of making Colorado Boulevard safer for pedestrians, bicyclists and drivers.

Road Improvements: Wawona & El Roble

Beginning this week the Bureau of Street Services will initiate the final phase of roadway improvements on Wawona Street at El Roble Drive by installing new concrete streets. Lanes may be closed at times.
 
Temporary “No Parking” signs should be posted on the street at least 24 hours before the actual work begins and notices should be provided to residents and businesses impacted by the operation.
 
You should remove your vehicles from the street to protect them from damage by construction debris and to prevent interference with the planned work. The “No Parking” signs should be removed and vehicular parking restored once the project has been completed.
 
If you have any questions, contact the Council District 14 Northeast Office at 323-254-5295.
