Let's Protect the Last Remaining L.A. Riverfront Open Space in the San Fernando Valley.

Damage is done. (7/26/24 @1:18pm) You’d think Harvard-Westlake’s developer would have had the consideration to use wet street sweepers and covered their loads from the get-go. #AQMD #valleyfever #asthma

“Don’t be useless….. just USE LESS” We are still fighting for actual green (not PFAS plastic) open space at Weddington.
Three lawsuits are filed against the City of Los Angeles More info at https://t.co/r3GGmiRjkj

[SaveLARiverOpenSpace @SLAROS]

Would you let your kid play on this stuff? California should be the leader in reducing PFAS.
PFAS in artificial grass + Skin Absorption = Athletes likely to have higher PFAS.
”Industry has said the grass blades and backing cannot be made without PFAS.”…..

Please contact Supervisor Horvath’s office to request to terminate the existing lease regarding this property (4141 Whitsett)

Los Angeles County Public Works: “We completed our site inspection and did discover some trees were removed from the LACounty Flood Control District property without permission.  We have notified Harvard Westlake to cease all construction activities on the District’s property”

Aren’t owls supposed to be nocturnal?
This one was found on Bellaire Avenue right by Weddington. With the trees being cut down, the tree line in the neighborhood won’t be as ‘cool’ for another 25 years. #heatisland #overdevelopment

[SaveLARiverOpenSpace @SLAROS]

Ask for equal protection of the ecology. ALL developers should follow ecology guidelines. Contact Nithya Raman’s office to investigate possible bird nest disruptions since the start of Harvard-Westlake’s demolition of Weddington. [email protected]

240 mature trees will be eradicated from Studio City at Weddington, it’ll take new saplings from Harvard-Westlake’s River “Park” w/ airquotes 😉 20-25 years from their planting three years from now to be mature enough to re-create a cooling canopy (if they survive)

How much worse will extreme heat get by 2050? https://t.co/9StbbLK7cp

…Option 2: Call LA Dept of Building & Safety Number: [phone]
Option 3: Use the MyLA311 app to create a service request under ‘Private Property Violation’

Let’s keep the developer accountable for protecting the nesting baby birds
