Update on the Jacaranda tree, located on the triangle-shaped slope near the intersection of Whitley Terrace and Milner Road, damaged by a truck on Friday, June 12. 

The city responded to Shane Hall's 311 request on Thursday, June 18. The arborist trimmed the broken branch and cleaned up all of the debris. See before and after photos. Even better news: The arborist told us the tree is in excellent health and is expected to recover well!😀

Those of us who live nearby are so relieved to know the tree is healthy, and we all can look forward to enjoying the springtime purple blooms for years to come. 🌳💜 🌳💜

Be on alert for threatening phone calls from anyone claiming to be a Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputy.

I received a call the morning of May 4th from a man who claimed to be LA County Sheriff’s Deputy Steven Kado (he spelled it for me) with a badge ID 25021. He told me that he was calling because I had not responded to a grand jury summons from Van Nuys Superior Court. I had not received any summons so he confirmed my name and address.
