Neighbors:

Most of the information below is accurate.  Trimming should begin on Thursday, 4/19.  Please abide by the No Parking signs or your car may be towed.

The Los Angeles Fire Department has hired a contractor to trim trees along Beverly Glen.  The scheduled times and a description follows.

Your Traffic Committee Chair has discussed the impact on traffic and LAFD will be asking the contractor to do work on weekends on our side whenever possible, and not to set up in the morning until after 10 am, to avoid disrupting the morning commute.  We believe they will make best efforts to keep traffic flowing when at all possible.

The Mulholland Bridge will be closed frequently for night time work between April 4, 2012 and August 4, 2012.

Metro and their contractors are working to relocate utilities associated with the improvements to the 405.

For more information, please visit Metro’s website, http://www.metro.net/projects/i-405/.  This site is updated regularly with all closures listed.

You can also learn more by downloading this informational flyer:

Mulholland Bridge Closure Notice – Utilities Relocation

Be aware that the 405 Wilshire Blvd. on- and off-ramps will be closed for 30- to 90-day periods over the next several months.  There are 8 on- and off-ramps and they will be closed in pairs.  We will endeavor to bring you the most updated information possible, when available.

Thanks for driving courteously in the Glen!

The LA Marathon is this Sunday, March 18th.

Apparently LA DWP has decided do close Beverly Glen again, without notice to us or our Councilman’s office.  They expect to be done soon but who knows, so plan accordingly and stay tuned.

This time though, we can’t stay quiet, we ask all residents to call the following numbers and let DWP know how much of an inconvenience this is to our community.  We know we may need Beverly Glen shut down to repair the road but let us know so we can let you all know so you can plan accordingly and for decency’s sake, not on a Friday!

All residents, call:

213.367.1063 – We think this is the Head of Water Service Division’s Office, Joe Castaranto (sp?), also call
1-800-DIAL-DWP, Customer Service

We were patient and understanding last time and impressed upon them through our strongest advocate, our Councilman’s office, to coordinate with us so we can get the word out.  This time, they need to hear from us.

We’ll keep you posted as we hear more as well.

Thanks to all residents for updates, seems Beverly Glen is open all the way through, I would still give yourselves time to get home, it is Friday after all.

We’ll monitor what work will need to be done and keep you all posted.

As some know, looks like Beverly Glen is closed from Sunset to Nicada, information is scarce and fluid but make necessary plans to use Benedict Canyon if necessary, we will continue updating and have contacted the Councilman’s office who is contacting DWP, who is coordinating the work with a private contractor.

We are very upset about lack of coordinate with DWP and will communicate that effectively on behalf of all residents.  For now, coordinate as best as you can and make plans for afternoon drives.

Stay tuned, updated will be posted as we know.

There’s been a water main break at No. Beverly Glen & Corfu Lane.

DWP is already working on this and Councilman Koretz’s office knows about it.  Do not drive south on the Glen if you can avoid it (if you are north of Corfu) and the same goes for North, if you live south of Corfu).  We will do our best to keep you updated on this problem.

Then you should attend an upcoming community meeting on November 17, 2011:

• Thursday, November 17, 2011
• 6:00pm – 8:00pm
• Westwood Recreational Center – 1350 South Sepulveda Blvd, Room C

Beverly Glen Residents:

There will be a protest at the Hotel Bel-Air on FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14th, likely starting at 4 pm, but possibly earlier.  Expect traffic on Sunset between Stone Canyon and Beverly Glen to be more difficult than usual during Friday rush hour.

Here’s the link to additional information from the Bel-Air Association.

Additionally, Beverly Glen will be completely closed between Ventura Blvd and Mulholland Blvd on Saturday, October 15th and Sunday, October 16th from 6 am to 6 pm for resurfacing.  Expect additional delays around Mulholland as people will have to be diverted to the east and west.

Thanks for your patience with these issues.  We will bring you additional information as soon as we access it.
