Latest news from April 22 meeting: Updated with Angela's info distribution signup at https://mailchi.mp/4fcb323b4cd3/hbneighborhood * Placards for car dashboards should be ready for distribution by the neighborhood association. This year's color is CANARY YELLOW. Placards are bigger, so security guards can spot residents easier on road closure days. You can also pick up placards at the office of the advisory group at the offices under the Richard D. Colburn Orchestra Lounge inside the Hollywood Bowl * Hard closures will return to the Highland intersection of Milner and Camrose. So don't plan on exiting or entering Whitley Heights on those days. Closure dates still aren't certain yet, but expect announcements in advance.
