THE NEWSWORTHY
Latest word on the car-free Bimini Plaza street closure for a People Street is that the transformation could start as early as late spring this year. If you live in the neighborhood, we'll be holding some pop-up workshops on Sat 2/18 and 'Sun 2/19 from 10:30am to 2pm. Plan to drop
by anytime during those hours and give your input on what you'd like to see in
the Plaza and what kinds of programs you'd like.
We're excited to announce that our new school board member Dr. Rocio Rivas will be chairing the LAUSD Board Environmental Committee. With about a dozen public schools within walking distance of LAEV, we expect to be working with her office on planning the greening of local schools.
We anticipate moving the LA Ecovillage Institute's office into the Community Hub in the next few months. Let us know if you're up for helping with the move.
