In a city of nearly 4 million people, the local issues are often the most important. And with 99 neighborhood councils who speak out for their communities, local projects to improve their areas have a good chance of happening. A few days ago, Los Angeles City Councilmember Adrin Nazarianâs office organized a volunteer cleanup with the North Hollywood West Neighborhood Council.
A crowd showed up at Victory Valley Childcare Center to clean up trash in the streets, in alleys and on sidewalks in the Valley Plaza neighborhood. âThis is what community pride looks like,â Nazarian said. âWhen neighbors come together, we donât just clean streets â we strengthen relationships.â
The volunteer cleaning teams found sofas, mattresses and other items dumped illegally on the streets and behind businesses. One alley was filled with trash and discarded furniture. Nazarianâs office organizes a different community cleanup every month.
