L A County Sheriff Jim McDonnell Public Safety Challenges for 2018: *Crime *Counter-Terrorism *Mental Illness *Opioids *Recruitment of Officers COMMUNITY MEETING WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 2017 - 7:15 PM NOTRE DAME HIGH SCHOOL • RIVERSIDE & WOODMAN, SHERMAN OAKS Los Angeles County Sheriff Jim McDonnell will be our guest speaker on Wednesday evening October 18, 2017. Many of us are very familiar with Sheriff McDonnell because he has spoken at previous Meetings as the second in command to Los Angeles Police Chief William Bratton. In 2010, he left the Los Angeles Police Department to become Chief of Police in the City of Long Beach. In 2014, he was elected as Los Angeles County Sheriff. Chief McDonnell brings decades of experience and expertise to the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department. He is well-respected within the community and among law enforcement agencies. McDonnell has served as President of the Los Angeles County Police Chiefs’ Association as well as California Peace Officers’ Association. He is committed to keeping our streets safe while being transparent and proactively addressing the root causes of all crimes. Learn how Chief McDonnell deals with the challenges of overseeing 18,000 employees and what is being done to solve admitted problems within the Sheriff’s Department. Chief McDonnell will also discuss the controversy over the Sheriff’s Department’s use of drones. He will explain how the Sheriff’s Department is prepared if a Las Vegas shooting were to occur in Los Angeles. How will immigration rules from Washington, D.C. impact policing in our communities? Jules Feir announces that Poquito Mas will be our Restaurant of the Month. -

Sherman Oaks Community Traffic Plan Sherman Oaks is a community that is geographically bound by the Santa Monica mountains on its southern boundary, and the ever-expanding San Fernando Valley on its western, northern, and eastern boundaries. Sherman Oaks is about three miles from north to south and three miles from east to west. But, Sherman Oaks has only four exit routes along its southern border to the Westside, as shown in the figure below: • San Diego Freeway; • Sepulveda Boulevard; • Woodcliff Road; and • Beverly Glen Boulevard. Only Four Exit Routes from Sherman Oaks Sherman Oaks Vision Committee 1 of 11 May 6, 2017 Sherman Oaks Community Traffic Plan Sherman Oaks was first developed in 1927 with only three canyon exit routes to the Westside – the San Diego Freeway did not exist until 1964. This lack of viable exits created a huge future problem because there are so many job opportunities on the Westside. Years ago, traffic flowing through Sherman Oaks was manageable. But, with increasing population growth more people from across the Valley started using these canyon routes to access their jobs and schools on the Westside – thus straining the capacity of these routes. As traffic became heavier, it began to overflow onto secondary streets. This caused many neighborhoods such distress that the city began limiting access to these secondary streets through turn restrictions during peak travel times. This further concentrated traffic onto already overcrowded canyon routes, many of which are substandard streets, causing gridlock. Throughout Sherman Oaks, much of our troubles stem from streets never intended for heavy traffic. -
The Struggle to Make Sacred Places in the Secular Space of Los Angeles
ТЕМА НОМЕРА: СВЯЩЕННОЕ: ПОНЯТИЕ И ФЕНОМЕН Ivan Strenski THE STRUGGLE TO MAKE SACRED PLACES IN THE SECULAR SPACE OF LOS ANGELES Айван Стренски БОРЬБА ЗА СОЗДАНИЕ СВЯЩЕННЫХ МЕСТ ИЗ СЕКУЛЯРНОГО ПРОСТРАНСТВА ЛОС-АНДЖЕЛЕСА В статье рассматривается топография Лос-Анджелеса (США), а также анализируется природа трудностей, связанных с попыткой систематического ее исследования. Различая пространство (space) и место (place), автор констатирует, что Лос-Анджелес парадоксально не является местом, т.е. пространством организованным и радикально отличным от окружающего. В немалой степени это проявляется в отсутствии доминирующих над городским пространством религиозных сооружений, единство города обеспечивается скорее системой скоростных шоссе. В связи с этим стратегия оформления сакрального пространства религиозными институциями, с одной стороны, предполагает дробление городского, преимущественно неинтегрированного пространства на множество кластеров, и с другой – намеренно «не соответствует» духу места, в силу его отсутствия. Более того, сооружения образуют замкнутые миры, существующие на полюсе пространства, противоположном все пронизывающей сети дорог. Таким образом, в Лос-Анджелесе религиозные сообщества не осваивают, но формируют священное пространство, причем исключительно в соответствии с принятыми и формирующимися в них представлениями. Религиоведческие исследования = Researches in Religious Studies. 2017: №1 (15). M., 2017. C.9-28. 9 doi:10.23761/rrs2017-15.9-28 Los Angeles architect, Charles W. Moore, is perhaps best known for his interests in the design of gardens. His work on these carefully fashioned places led him to develop the theme of a “sense of place.” I have found much of what Moore has written particularly applicable to the arguments I shall make in this paper about the difficulties for a city like Los Angeles to establish a sense of place. -

Traffic, Circulation, and Parking
4.1 Traffic, Circulation, and Parking This section describes the existing transportation and parking conditions within and adjacent to the project area. A traffic report describing the potential impacts of the proposed project was prepared by Iteris in March 2010 and is included as Appendix B. This section summarizes the findings of the traffic report and discusses any necessary mitigation and residual impacts after mitigation. The study area for the traffic report prepared for the proposed project was developed in conjunction with LACMTA and the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT). A study area that included 74 study intersections, consisting of intersections along Wilshire Boulevard, as well as parallel corridors, such as Sunset Boulevard, Santa Monica Boulevard, Olympic Boulevard, Pico Boulevard, 3rd Street, 6th Street, and 8th Street, was established for the proposed project. 4.1.1 Environmental Setting The following discussion includes an overview of the transportation system within the Wilshire BRT study area. The roadway system in the study area forms a grid pattern, with arterials and collectors that generally follow a northeast-to-southwest orientation in the western portion of the study area (west of the City of Beverly Hills) and an east-to-west orientation in the eastern portion of the study area (east of the City of Beverly Hills.) Freeway Network The Santa Monica Freeway (Interstate 10 [I-10]) is a major east-west freeway that parallels Wilshire Boulevard south of the study area. The freeway is one of the busiest and carries some of the highest daily traffic volumes in the nation. Annual counts from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) indicate that the 2007 average daily traffic (ADT) on I-10 ranges from 199,000 (east of Centinela Avenue) to 323,000 (east of Vermont Avenue). -

Iv. Environmental Impact Analysis I. Noise
IV. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS I. NOISE 1. INTRODUCTION This section analyzes potential noise and vibration impacts associated with construction and operation of the proposed project. The analysis describes the existing noise environment within the vicinity of the project site, estimates future noise levels at surrounding land uses resulting from construction and operation of the proposed project, identifies the potential for significant impacts, and provides mitigation measures to address significant impacts. In addition, an evaluation of the potential cumulative noise impacts from the proposed project and known related projects is also provided. Noise calculation worksheets are included in Appendix G of this Draft EIR. 2. ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING a. Noise and Vibration Basics (1) Noise Noise is most often defined as unwanted sound. Although sound can be easily measured, the perceptibility of sound is subjective and the physical response to sound complicates the analysis of its impact on people. People judge the relative magnitude of sound sensation in subjective terms such as “noisiness” or “loudness.” Sound pressure magnitude is measured and quantified using a logarithmic ratio of pressures, the scale of which gives the level of sound in decibels (dB). The human hearing system is not equally sensitive to sound at all frequencies. Therefore, to approximate this human, frequency‐dependent response, the A‐weighted filter system is used to adjust measured sound levels. The A‐weighted sound level is expressed in “dBA.” This scale de‐emphasizes low frequencies to which human hearing is less sensitive and focuses on mid‐ to high‐range frequencies. Although the A‐weighted scale accounts for the range of people’s response, and therefore, is commonly used to quantify individual event or general community sound levels, the degree of annoyance or other response effects also depends on several other perceptibility factors. -
