FW: Apron Parking Hearing Dec 3

From Evan Gordon

As you know, many neighborhoods face a severe parking shortage, and
sometimes creative solutions must be found. Earlier this year, Councilmember
Jack Weiss introduced a measure to change the city's laws to explicitly
allow parking in the driveway apron in the North Village. This proposal
will be discussed at 11AM on Monday, December 3 at City Hall (200 North
Spring Street, 90012, RM 340). The hearing will include time for public
comment and testimony about the issue, and it would be helpful to the
Committee members to hear firsthand from local residents about the need for
this measure.

If you have questions, please call me.

ucla, usc, uc santa barbara already have deals with flexcar

according to flexcar.com, flexcar is already available to ucla students, with flexcar available in several ucla parking lots.... our streets should be for the public....

steve case's company revolution owns flexcar... though
i think it is a very interesting idea and i hope the
company grows and eases congestion, this is a private
company with huge money behind it... they have made
deals with many universities (they should be buying
spaces from ucla), but why take away our parking
spaces?.... they should be buying spaces from private
parking lots in westwood, not taking away our parking
spaces

to watch the award winning cnbc documentary on the aol
takeover of time warner, called "the big heist" see
link above.... they should be competing in the
marketplace like every other company
