This strategy was developed in consultation with Federal, State and local transportation and air quality planning agencies and other stakeholders. The four County Transportation Commissions, namely Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority, Riverside County Transportation Commission, Orange County Transportation Authority and the San Bernardino Associated Governments, were actively involved in the development of the TCM strategy of this Appendix. Consistent with past practices and in response to the inter-Agency consultation process, the Regional Transportation Strategy and Transportation Control Measures portion of the 2003 AQMP/SIP consists of the following four related elements. • Transportation Strategy and Emission Reduction Demonstration – Total regional emission reductions from transportation projects in the South Coast Air Basin (Basin) are demonstrated based on the 2001 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). In addition, emission reductions are quantified separately for TCM projects based on the most recent Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP). The emission reductions from the TCMs make up a subset of the total emission reductions from the RTP. The long-term planning requirements for emission reductions from on-road mobile sources are met by the RTP process, while the short-term implementation requirements are met by the RTIP process. • TCM Project Identification — The TCMs included in the 2003 AQMP are derived from TCM projects listed in the first two years of the most recently approved RTIP. In the event of a conformity lapse, only Federally approved TCMs and exempt projects, in the first two years (fiscally constrained portion) of the most recent (currently 2002) RTIP, will be allowed to proceed. Formal substitution language within this Appendix will allow for TCM revisions

In 2009, we were able to hire 40 new staff in our ever-expanding Head Start and newly acquired Early Head Start preschool programs, added CPR and First Aid certification to our Resource & Referral training repertoire, offered our first Community Volunteer Day to Bank of America employees, and we began a literacy campaign to collect and distribute 100,000 books to help educate low income children in our service area.

Over the past decade in Los Angeles, as in many cities across the United States, ethnic activists and businesses have lobbied local governments for official designations that publicly acknowledge their presence in a neighborhood. Yet ethnic place names have been adopted predominantly in neighborhoods where Latinos represent a majority. Street and freeway signs throughout the city promote the public identity of places such as Thai Town, Little Ethiopia, and Little Armenia, neighborhoods in which the ‘official’ immigrant community is in the minority. ii Employing comparative historical and ethnographic methods, I find that demographic changes initiated by immigration reform and the social movements of the 1960’s have established a new ‘collective act’ responsible for shaping the public identity of ethnic spaces in Los Angeles.

  • Social Integration at a Public Park Basketball Court
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Who’s Got Next? Social Integration at a Public Park Basketball Court A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology by Michael Francis DeLand 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Who’s Got Next? Social Integration at a Public Park Basketball Court by Michael Francis DeLand Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Jack Katz, Chair This dissertation examines the ongoing formation of a public park as a particular type of public place. Based on four years of in-depth participant observation and historical and archival research I show how a pickup basketball scene has come to thrive at Ocean View Park (OVP) in Santa Monica California. I treat pickup basketball as a case of public place integration which pulls men out of diverse biographical trajectories into regular, intense, and emotional interactions with one another. Many of the men who regularly play at Ocean View Park hold the park in common, if very little else in their lives. Empirical chapters examine the contingencies of the park’s historical formation and the basketball scene’s contemporary continuation. Through comparative historical research I show how Ocean View Park was created as a “hidden gem” within its local urban ecology. Then I show that the intimate character of the park affords a loose network of men the opportunity to sustain regular and informal basketball games. Without the structure of formal organization men arrive at OVP explicitly to build and populate a vibrant gaming context with a diverse array of ii others.

  • Local General Elections and a Special Election Were Held in the City of Los Angeles on Tuesday, May 21, 2013. Outlined Are the E
    Local general elections and a special election were held in the City of Los Angeles on Tuesday, May 21, 2013. Outlined are the election results for the Offices of Mayor, City Attorney, City Controller, and odd-numbered City Council Districts. Also included are results for the special election in City Council District 6, Ballot Measures, Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education, and Los Angeles Community College District Board of Trustees. CITY OF LOS ANGELES Mayor City Councilmember Eric Garcetti defeated City Controller Wendy Greuel 53.92 percent to 46.07 percent. Garcetti is the first elected Jewish Mayor and is the outgoing three-term Councilmember of the Thirteenth District of Los Angeles. A fourth- generation Angeleno, Garcetti won a hotly-contested election to the Los Angeles City Council in 2001, becoming one of the youngest city councilmembers in the city’s history. He was unanimously elected as Council President in 2005 and unanimously re-elected in 2007 and 2009. During his term in office, Garcetti emerged as an effective local problem-solver and as a strong advocate on citywide and national issues. He led the effort to fund the nation’s largest Affordable Housing Trust Fund, oversaw the economic and cultural revitalization of Hollywood, wrote and championed Proposition O to clean up our local water, won passage of a plan that eliminated the city’s business tax for 60 percent of all businesses, and helped bring thousands of new high wage jobs to Los Angeles and his district. Garcetti studied urban planning and political science at Columbia University, where he received his B.A.
