Bike Week, Traffic Enforcement, Civic Pride on ERNC Agenda Tonight

The Eagle Rock Neighborhood Council is scheduled to meet Tuesday night to discuss, update and vote on a range of civic, business and political issues. 

The meeting of the ERNC board will take place from 7 p.m. to about 9 p.m. on the second floor of Eagle Rock City Hall. The event is open to the public and Eagle Rock residents are especially encouraged to attend.

Here are some of the highlights of the meeting’s agenda:

• ERNC Communications Director Baker Montgomery will fill the council in on how business owners along Colorado Boulevard responded to an ERNC survey about whether they would like the City of Los Angeles to install bike racks facing their storefronts.

• The ERNC board will discuss and possibly act upon President Michael Nogueira’s presentation about a $900 Community Improvement Project funding proposal for a rhythm and blues, funk and disco band called Funkomatics during the July 28 Concerts in the Park series that kicked off this past Sunday.

• The ERNC board will discuss and possibly agree to write a letter of support for a conditional use permit that Four Café is seeking from the Los Angeles Planning Department to sell beer and wine at the Colorado Boulevard restaurant. The letter is contingent on proof that the owners of Four Café conducted the necessary public outreach within a 500-foot radius of their business. Land Use Committee Co-Chair Oren Bitan will apprise the ERNC of the restaurant’s outreach efforts.

• Secretary Michael Blanchard will propose to the board that the ERNC begin planning for its 2014 elections by forming an Elections Committee.

• The ERNC board will discuss and possibly vote on the design of an Eagle Rock banner that is proposed to be installed on lightpoles across the neighborhood in an effort to instill civic pride among residents. Vice President David Greene, Director Sub-District 2 Kerry Tribe and Director Sub-District 4 Michelle Frier will give a presentation about the banner design.

• Treasurer Ashley Atkinson and Secretary Michael Blanchard will give a presentation about funding and coordinating a proposed Bike Week in Eagle Rock devoted to safety classes and related issues.

• The ERNC board will discuss and possibly vote on a proposal to write a letter to the Los Angeles Police Department to better enforce traffic laws on Colorado Boulevard, where speeding is not uncommon. Communications Director Baker Montgomery will give a presentation about the latest developments regarding this issue, which was raised in the ERNC’s most recent meeting in June.
