Diversity with Equity
Home to large numbers of people of different cultures, races and ethnicities, religions and ideologies, sexual orientations and gender identities — Los Angeles is often referred to as one of the most diverse cities in America. But, as diverse as it is, it is not the most equitable city in America. With surging levels of homelessness, poverty and food insecurity plaguing some neighborhoods and ethnic groups far more than others — only heightened by the ongoing pandemic — too many in the City do not enjoy all the opportunities the region has to offer.

DWP - Show Them You Care and Stay Prepared
Fifty years ago, the San Fernando Earthquake, also known as the Sylmar Earthquake, hit the region, resulting in widespread damage. Striking just after 6 a.m., the 6.6 earthquake crumbled homes, collapsed a freeway overpass, destroyed local hospitals, and took 64 lives. Critical infrastructure systems were severely impacted, including our own water and power systems. Since then, with great strides in the fields of earthquake engineering and seismology, we have taken aggressive action to harden our water and power infrastructure. We're planning for a resilient future for L.A. We urge you to do the same.

It's never been more important to plan in advance as the ongoing pandemic can complicate matters quickly in an emergency. So while you take time to celebrate love this month, carve out some time to prepare and plan with your loved ones before the next "big one" hits. Make a plan, make a kit and show them you care by staying prepared.
Join StreetsLA at our February 16th Sidewalk and Transit Amenities (STAP) Info Session!
With the City’s existing street furniture contract expiring at the end of 2021, StreetsLA is developing a successor program and envisions a world-class, self-sustaining program that provides shelter, shade, safety, and comfort with furniture that supports an increased use of transit and alternative transportation, local economic activity and the shared use of City sidewalks. The Sidewalk and Transit Amenities Program (STAP) will replace and expand upon the existing program and is expected to follow the traditional business model in which furniture costs are supported by advertising.

Please join us in an information session via Zoom where you will have the opportunity to engage with the StreetsLA team to share your vision for a world class program and ask your questions about the STAP program.

Our next event will take place on February 16 at 1:00 PM!
