Hear Ye, Hear Ye ! Residents of B.H., 
Come One, Come All

To The Beverly Hills Residents Associations'
TOWN HALL MEETING / Wed. June 6, 7:30 PM

All About Over-Development, Too Much Traffic, Too Little Parking 
and What We Can Do About It
At the Beverly Hills Public Library Auditorium [2nd fl.]

Hosted by the Municipal League of B.H., the B.H. North Homeowners' Assn., the B.H. South Homeowners Assn. and the B.H. South Side Neighborhood Assn. 

A Suggested Agenda:

1) Would you like a nearby Gelson's Market, but not the accompanying 18-wheelers, traffic congestion, diesel fumes and noise in B.H.? How about a regular shuttle service from B.H. to Gelson's in Century City?

2) Would you like to be able to shop and/or meet friends for lunch on N. Beverly or N. Canon without finding all parking spaces taken? How about a reservation system for parking spaces? And/or more parking spaces being built on the City-owned D-Lot, near Santa Monica Bl.than now planned?

3) What shall we do with the huge City-owned T-Lot, just north of Wilshire Bl. between Beverly Dr. and Crescent? How about a great plaza with a magnificent traditional fountain, an expansive lawn, lovely flower beds and trees ? Underneath could be well-lit and well-monitored parking.

4) Shall we restore the historic Crescent Station Post Office to its original use? Should we contract with the USPS to re-install the 3,300 P.O. boxes and window service there? The displacement of thousands Crescent Station P.O. customers to the Industrial Area's 3rd and Maple Dr. facility was a grievous mistake, which could be corrected. 

5) How much do you know about MTA's plans to remove two traffic lanes on Wilshire Bl. for the exclusive use of buses? Do you think it's a good idea or one we may regret? Come learn more about it and give us your ideas.

6) The proposed Bel Jardin Hotel, at Wilshire and Maple, has the neighbors upset about expected additional traffic impacts. They've called for "traffic calming" devices. We remember the bumps and humps that were tried and removed. Will "traffic circles" find a similar fate?

7) The City's proposed General Plan Review: Do residents want higher office buildings, increased density and more adverse environmental impacts? The City-appointed steering committee is heavy with pro-development appointees. They may be suggesting who should serve as participants in the process. Anyone may apply, however, the Council will undoubtedly pick its favorites. What are the odds we'll get a balanced outcome, much less one that is favorable to the residential quality of life in Beverly Hills?

All this and refreshments too.
Be there, Wed. June 3 at 7:30 PM at the B.H. Public Library.
