Remove Graffiti Fast!

The most effective way to combat graffiti is to remove it IMMEDIATELY, before the vandal's 'message' can be seen. Report any graffiti on public property or your own private property using the on-line Anti-Graffiti Request System, or call the graffiti hotline at 3-1-1. The graffiti will be removed for FREE within 4 business days.

Boulevard Without Borders

Three artists who live near Pico have initiated the Boulevard Without Borders project to document the people and places along this culturally diverse corridor. The project brings teenagers together from Pico's ethnic and religious communities in a collaborative process of photographing their own and other neighborhoods along the boulevard.

Saturn Edible Garden

Some Say NO to Treeguards

Wednesday, 01 July 2009 22:50
Stakeholders take up a petition to weigh public opinion on treeguard project. Councilman Wesson's office is proposing the installation of treeguards along Pico Boulevard between Fairfax & La Brea. Similar treeguards were recently installed along Washington Boulevard and the surrounding community is very unhappy with them because they have become magnets for graffiti. The group responsible for taking up the petition says, "We applaud Councilman Wesson's interest in beautification efforts for Pico, but we believe funding should be allocated to more beneficial projects such as repair of curbs and sidewalks, replacement of dead or non-thriving street trees (sycamores and golden crown), installation of landscaped medians, etc." If you would like to sign the petition opposing the installation of treeguards, follow the link: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/notreeguards -end
