Slow Streets Program

TERA has worked with the City of Los Angeles to bring its temporary “Slow Streets” program to Eagle Rock. “Slow Streets” seeks to provide more space on residential streets for people to maintain social distancing while getting out for fresh air and exercise during the COVID-19 pandemic. Starting on Friday 5/22, the City began providing temporary signage at intersections along the following streets to discourage aggressive driving:

  • Ellenwood Drive from Avenue 45 to Yosemite Drive
  • Fair Park Avenue between Eagle Rock Boulevard and Maywood Avenue
  • Maywood Avenue between Yosemite Drive and Chickasaw Ave

These streets will remain open to drive and park on, but drivers should be aware of the presence of neighbors and children seeking to maintain social distancing.

Here is our letter to Councilmember Huizar offering to sponsor the Slow Street program in Eagle Rock.

Bringing Vidiots to Eagle Rock

Vidiots APC Hearing

TERA was an early supporter for Vidiots Foundation’s plan to restore the historic Eagle Theatre at the intersection of Eagle Rock Boulevard and Yosemite Drive.

In August 2020, the City of Los Angeles wrongly applied onerous and unfair conditions of operation on Vidiots which would make Vidiots’ operation infeasible and take away funding from Vidiots programming.

Determined to right this wrong and ensure Vidiots’ long term success, TERA filed an appeal to remove these incorrectly applied conditions in September 2020. In December 2020, the East Area Planning Commission approved TERA’s appeal and unanimously voted to eliminate unfair conditions that the City had imposed on Vidiots. Due to a frivolous lawsuit against Vidiots by a disgruntled homeowner, TERA would end up twice more organizing community voices to communicate support for Vidiots in February 2023 and finally in October 2023, both times achieving unanimous approval from the East Area Planning Commission for reduced requirements on Vidiots.

Vidiots at the Eagle Theatre

Vidiots opened in June 2023 and has been a thorough success. TERA is proud to have played a part in helping to bring Vidiots to Eagle Rock, and to help ensure Vidiots’ long term success at the historic Eagle Theatre.
