BI-MONTHLY LADOT CD11 LAPD MVCC TRAFFIC
Chair: Linda Guagliano
Please Note: At the July 14th meeting of this Committee it was announced by LADOT that they would not be able to continue attending these meetings in the future because of severe budget and staff cuts. However, after further discussion, an agreement has been reached with LADOT that its West District engineer will attend the Bi-Monthly Committee meetings, but LADOT-related Agenda items will be presented first and after they are discussed, the LADOT representative may leave the meeting while the rest of the Agenda is discussed. The meeting will not be open to public attendance but will be attended only by the LADOT, CD11, LAPD and MVCC Liaison representatives, who will discuss Agenda items, complaints and requests submitted to the Committee Chair prior to the meeting by MVCC stakeholders and other interested persons. Minutes of the meeting will be posted on this website."

Although this committee is not an official committee of the Mar Vista Community Council, it is a very unique and important organization in the Mar Vista community, and is provided with a committee page on the MVCC website in order to facilitate its work for our community. Linda Guagliano is currently the liaison to this committee from the MVCC, and is the Chair of the committee.
The MVCC-LADOT-CD11-LAPD Traffic committee meets bi-monthly, on the second Wednesday of every second month, at Councilman Bill Rosendahl's West Los Angeles office, to consider, discuss and attempt to resolve issues raised by Mar Vista residents who are concerned about traffic matters within the purview of the MVCC, LADOT, Council District 11, and the LAPD's Community Traffic Services Unit, such as:
1. Traffic lights, lighted signals, posted street signs and other street markers,
2. Pedestrian and vehicle safety issues,
3. Compliance with and enforcement of posted truck weight limits on residential streets,
4. Parking issues on residential streets,
5. Vehicle and pedestrian safety concerns due to street, sidewalk, and vegetation maintenance issues,
Similar and different problems and issues may arise in the future which are within the scope of this Committee, whose purpose is to hear, discuss and try to remedy neighborhood traffic-related concerns of the community's residents. Future unique issues may come up which do not fit in the above categories but do fit the Committee's scope and purpose.
Meetings are attended by representatives of LADOT, CD11, and LAPD, and issues are addressed by the appropriate personnel. Issues are sometimes referred to other agencies or entities for resolution, or continued to the next meeting for follow-up and resolution. Unresolved Agenda items are continued for progress reports under Old Business at the next meeting; new items are added to the Agenda as received, and anyone can come to a meeting and present an item not on the published Agenda. The meeting Notice is sent out a week or ten days before the meeting with prospective Agenda items listed, and a statement that the meeting is open the public who are welcome to attend. The final Agenda is posted on the MVCC website 72 hours prior to the meeting, and is distributed at the meeting. And attendees with items not received for the published Agenda are allowed time to present their concerns orally. An attendance sheet is signed by all present and Minutes are distributed to the attendees as soon as possible, and on the website.
