Note there is a hearing scheduled to hear a 1.2M SF project to be built at 1950 Avenue of the Stars in Century City. Originally RoBG had no major issue as it was a for sale residential project, now it contemplates that 700,000 SF be office and you know that means more Glen traffic.
Sorry for late notice (we are volunteers after all) but if you can email the City or call if you have similar concerns, helps drive our concern home.

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.
Trimming will be on the weekends starting at Valley Vista on 4/14 and moving up the hill and on week days starting at Parkwood/De Neve Park on 4/16 and moving up the hill. The Sherman Oaks trimming will be four successive weekends, and Beverly Glen four successive weeks, ending around May 15 (see note above about our having requested weekend trimming if possible).The contractor will keep two lanes of traffic moving whenever possible, but these lanes will be narrowed and the speeds greatly reduced. When needed, they will stop traffic entirely for up to 3 minutes at a time.
No parking notices will be posted along sections of street before the crews come and although it is a last resort, vehicles will be towed to gain access to trees or to avoid damage to them during trimming. Morning trimming will be on the east side of the boulevard starting with equipment set-up at
7:00 10:00 am 7:00 am, then switching to the west side. Work will be done by 2:30 pm each day. Signs will be placed at Sunset and Mulholland for the duration of the project advising that traffic will be delayed.
The planned segments for work (approx 2 days each) are as follows:
1. Parkwood to Greendale
2. Greendale to Hollybrush
3. Hollybrush to Fernbush
4. Fernbush to Crater
5. Crater to Caribou
6. Caribou to Seabury
7. Seabury to Ravenwood
8. Ravenwood to Nicada
9. Nicada to Beverly Glen Circle
10. Beverly Glen Circle to Mulholland
11. Sunset to Parkwood (fit in as traffic allows)
The trimming will be raising canopy up to 14 feet and in some places bringing the canopy back in places. There will be lots of raising of small branches and removal of dead wood. There will also be trimming back of hedges and other thick vegetation that extends into the roadway (e.g., ficus hedges, bamboo, etc.). The Fire Department has made every effort to accommodate protected tree species (e.g., oaks and sycamores) while cleaning up hazardous situations such as dead wood and peeling bark on eucalyptus trees. Volunteers from Residents of Beverly Glen have been working very closely with the Brush Clearance Unit to protect our beautiful tree canopy where possible.
For more information about the project, please contact the LAFD Brush Clearance Unit: John Novela, 818-778-4927.
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.
Hello Neighbors!
I have received a very large power point presentation from Metro that updates the community on the improvements to the 405. It’s 62 pages total and I was not able to post the whole thing here. If you are interested in the whole document (10 MB), please e-mail traffic@beverlyglen.org and I’ll send it to you.
The improvements to the Sunset Bridge, including information about the closure of Sunset Blvd. are included in the three segments attached below.
If you have any questions, you can contact Metro’s community relations person for this segment, Olga Arroyo – her e-mail is arroyoo@metro.net (not a typo, there are 2 o’s at the end of her e-mail address).
Here’s the Sunset Bridge portion of the presentation – I had to break it down into three segments to get it posted here. Closure information (between Sept. 30 and October 15) is listed in the final document (“sunset c”).

The City is undertaking a change of its Development Review Process in an effort to reduce processing times, increase transparency and make the process easier. In this effort, they have organized forums to allow residents to provide their input. All four forums are the same so pick any of the four but pick one, the change will be dramatic and likely easier for developers unless we provide our input on what is important to us.
Information about the forums and the notice can be found by downloading City Review Process Forums notice.
