In This Edition Safely Celebrating 4Th of July Having trouble viewing this email? View it as a Web page. July 2, 2021 Lea este boletín en Español A Letter from Los Angeles County Board Chair & Supervisor Hilda L. Solis Dear Friends, As we go into the 4th of July holiday weekend, I want to emphasize the importance of celebrating safely among family and loved ones. I know we have longed for the day that we could finally gather with others and while the County has fully re-opened, the pandemic is not yet over. In recent weeks, we have seen the Delta variant circulating heavily among unvaccinated individuals, which means that if you are not yet vaccinated, you are still at risk. Together, we can stop the spread of COVID-19 and all it takes is one action: to get vaccinated. My office continues to host mobile vaccine clinics across the First District and there are many other sites through the Department of Public Health with great incentives. To find a participating vaccination site near you, please visit: VaccinateLACounty.com or call 833-540-0473. Residents who are home-bound can also call to schedule an in-person vaccine appointment, right at your front door! As always if you have any questions, you can reach out to my office. I hope you all have a fun and safe 4th of July! Sincerely, Chair Hilda L. Solis Supervisor, First District IN THIS EDITION • SAFELY CELEBRATING 4TH OF JULY • A VISIT FROM SECRETARY BECERRA • BECOMING CHAIR OF METRO & NEW METRO PROJECTS • COMMUNITY RESOURCES & EVENTS SAFELY CELEBRATING 4TH OF JULY This week, I hosted a press conference in partnership with the Los Angeles County Fire Department to talk about the dangers of fireworks in our communities. Not only are they physically dangerous, but fireworks can also cause a lot of distress among Veterans, babies and pets. They also pose an environmental hazard and are illegal in unincorporated areas of LA County. You can learn more at the video below. WATCH VIDEO A VISIT FROM SECRETARY BECERRA Today, I had the honor of joining Secretary Becerra for a tour and press conference of the Pomona Fairplex Emergency Intake Site. During the tour, we had the opportunity to hear from the staff on-site who are providing compassionate and holistic care for the unaccompanied children. To date, over 1,000 children have been successfully reunified! My office and the County are proud to serve in this humanitarian mission and to be a part of #TeamHope. SEE MORE PHOTOS BECOMING CHAIR OF METRO & NEW METRO PROJECTS I am proud to share that as of July 1st, I am the new Chair of the Metro Board! And as Chair, I will be prioritizing the following goals to ensure equitable transportation for all, including: • Supporting Metro’s transit riders • Focusing on affordable housing to serve transit riders and to prevent further displacement • Driving an equitable recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic • Re-imagining the agency’s highway investments I will discuss these in more depth during next week's Metro State of the Agency event where I will formally assume my role as Chair. Stay tuned! LAUNCH OF ALVARADO BUS ONLY LANE This week, my office joined Metro CEO Stephanie Wiggins, Mayor of Los Angeles Eric Garcetti, Councilmember Mitch O’Farrell, and LADOT General Manager Seleta Reynolds in celebrating the groundbreaking of the Alvarado Street Bus Lane Project. Once completed, this project will provide 1.7 miles of bus-only lanes which will serve the First District communities of Westlake, Historic Filipinotown, and Echo Park! Learn more here. LA VERANDA AFFORDABLE HOUSING GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONY I was thrilled to join Metro and Abode Communities in a groundbreaking ceremony to mark the start of construction on a mixed-use affordable housing development near the corner of Cesar E. Chavez Avenue and Soto Street in Boyle Heights! It will include 76 income-restricted affordable apartments and approximately 8,000 square feet of community-serving ground- floor retail and associated parking. Learn more here.

The Open Space and Recreation Element reflects this priority. It also reflects the interrelationship between this element and the goals, objectives, and policies in the Land Use, Conservation, Safety, and Circulation elements. The Open Space and Recreation Element meets the requirements of the State-mandated Open Space Element as defined in Section 55302(e) of the Government Code. According to these requirements, Open space south of Descanso Gardens an Open Space Element must contain policies concerned with managing all open space areas, including undeveloped lands and outdoor recreational areas.
