LA County & the State's New COVID-19 Framework |
|
Last Friday, the State of California released a new tiered framework to more easily communicate the extent of community transmission in counties across the state. The above graphic is a summary of: 1) the state’s tiers, 2) the indicators they are tracking, and 3) how counties are being classified (as having either widespread, substantial, moderate or minimal spread of the COVID-19 virus in their communities). Moving forward, California will use this new tier system to guide possible sector re-openings for counties to consider.

L.A. City Planning Update |
|
In the first half of 2020, we experienced profound changes to our daily lives. The COVID-19 pandemic has altered where we work and how we learn; how we access basic needs, such as quality health care and testing; and most importantly, how critical it is to have a place of shelter. READ MORE

Through a partnership between LANI and LADOT, the Stress-Free Connections campaign was launched last fall. The goal is to increase safe connections and easier crossings on neighborhood streets in order to make getting around easier for more Angelenos.
Safer neighborhood connections will help people get where they most want to go, while avoiding busier, more stressful streets. Our neighborhood streets can be a great asset in supporting all kinds of ways to get around without the need to drive.
Supporting neighborhood connections can both improve health and calm traffic on neighborhood streets. But many neighborhoods are not well connected and busy streets can be difficult to cross. These conditions create stressful situations for people as they try to go between their homes, offices, schools, and other destinations without the need to always drive.
LANI & LADOT want to hear from you and your neighbors! Please feel free to share the survey link online, or forward this newsletter to a friend. Together, we can foster more “stress-free” connections in our communities.

Time is running out to complete the 2020 Census, with the September 30 deadline approaching. We need everyone to be counted! The response rate in Los Angeles is currently at about 55 percent, which means almost half of Angelenos are not yet reflected in the count.
The Census determines funding for transportation, health care, housing, economic development and more, as well as California’s representation in Congress. Census data also inform future decisions about where to invest and build.
The census is quick and easy to complete online, by phone, by mail, or with a census taker who travels door-to-door. It’s important to note that one’s immigration status does not matter, and that all information is protected by law under Title 13 and cannot be shared with any other governmental agency. For more information, visit 2020census.gov.
