West Hollywood residents are invited to share their thoughts about public safety issues, the Sunset Experience project and implementation of the Eastside Community Priority Plan at a variety of events this month.
On this coming Monday, residents are invited to join representatives from the city’s Public Safety Department and West Hollywood Sheriff’s Station to discuss what is being done to meet public safety challenges in local neighborhoods.
Admission is free and pizza will be served. The town-hall style meeting will be held at 7 p.m. Monday at Plummer Park’s Fiesta Hall, located at 7377 Santa Monica Blvd. For more information, contact Rob Winrader at RWinrader@weho.org.
The City of West Hollywood is inviting residents to an event on Thursday, March 14, to discuss the Sunset Experience pilot project and provide suggestions for other ways to improve walkability on the Strip
In November 2018, the city installed three temporary pilot projects to test ways to make walking the Sunset Strip a more pedestrian-friendly experience. The pilot projects are only up for six months; the city is in the process of evaluating how these experiments worked and is seeking feedback.
The meeting is at 6:30 p.m. at The London Hotel’s Kensington Ballroom, located at 1020 N. San Vicente Blvd.
Those unable to attend the meeting can share their opinions by filling out a short online survey at www.weho.org/sunsetexperience. For more information, contact Garen Srapyan, associate planner, at (323) 848‐6827 or gsrapyan@weho.org.

We need new leadership in Public Safety. Someone who is lives in West Hollywood and someone who meets with the Residents on a monthly basis and make the changes that are needed. West Hollywood is not very Resident friendly.
I have to say that the “Sunset walkability” setup on Sunset & Palm & Larabee & San Vicente is a ridiculous mess. I can’t even imagine that those in charge of “Sunset walkability” could come up with something as hazardous – no, as dangerous – as this inexplicable mess. My dog Zipper & I walk up there nearly every day & we see those little white posts being hit & sometimes propelled right into the middle of the street. Imagine if someone was walking on that painted strip (which thankfully no one ever does, pedestrians aren’t that dumb) & a… Read more »
A prime example of well paid city consultants run wild tasked to come up with a scheme that appears to be a justification of their fees. Deterioration of the boulevard ie. gaming the real estate monopoly game, has generally made Sunset an uninteresting location with the possible exception of Sunset Plaza. Unsuspecting tourists pick their way through construction sites sometimes on sloping pavement suitable for mountain goats. Illustration of city becoming more dependent on outside consultants rather than staff with better antennae and foresight.
I live on Romaine Street between Stanley and Curson. In front of the house there were three car break ins, including my car and my friends car was stolen as well in January. The police came hour late did not want to take the license plate of stolen car, either over the phone or when they were writing the report. They did not care at all. The car was found 3-4 week later in the area when people walking dogs behind Highland noticed a car parked for an extended time. Police finally after more than 4 repeated calls looked up… Read more »
None of this is surprising since the sheriffs in WeHo have consistently been useless in most instances in my 9 years here, including with an assault I tried to register years ago, unless it’s to protect themselves, as with the 3 who murdered an innocent citizen on Palm some years back.
