The Los Angeles City Planning Commission is holding a Zoom hearing with public comment regarding the Reese Davidson Project this Thursday, May 27 at 8:30 am.
The Reese-Davidson project is a proposed project slated to be built on a 2.8-acre parcel in a residential area straddling the Grand Canal at the Venice Boulevard entrance to Venice Beach, a block from the southern edge of the Venice Boardwalk.
The building site is the largest remaining tract of open space in Venice and overlaps the Venice Canals Historic District.

One morning in late April, several unhoused neighbors living in their vehicles off Venice Boulevard awoke to find their windshields marked by the notorious, red-striped envelopes used by the Los Angeles Department of Transportation’s parking enforcement.
The city relaxed its parking restrictions earlier in the pandemic, but a new sign forbidding parking from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. had recently appeared. Over the next few nights, more tickets appeared. Although some people were able to move their vehicles, others were not because of a combination of inoperability and unease.
I’ve known Kim, 70, for over a year now, having first met her under a nearby overpass where she was sleeping in a tent with her service dog. As a Street Watch L.A. organizer and UCLA doctoral student researching homelessness, I spend a lot of time with unhoused people. It’s clear to me that the city’s parking enforcement policies impose a huge burden on unhoused Angelenos who live in their cars. Rather

LOS ANGELES A driver leading California Highway Patrol officers on a chase along the 110 Freeway and surface streets in the Los Angeles area Thursday morning was taken into custody after a successful PIT maneuver caused his truck to flip over. (Watch video below.)
The driver was traveling on the 110 Freeway before he got off the highway and was leading authorities on surface streets. At one point he was seen waving at Sky5 (news helicopter), which was overhead, KTLA reported.
While on surface streets, the driver did not stop at two red lights, the aerial footage showed. Sometime after 9:30 a.m., the driver got back on the westbound side of the freeway, but stayed near the off-ramp. Just before 9:40 a.m. the non-compliant suspect once again got off the freeway and was back on surface streets on Arlington Avenue and Washington Boulevard.
