census info https://census.lacity.org

I did mine months ago!

I did my census about ten months ago

ME, TOO!

Is it possible that the census forms are 'stuck' somewhere, in the USPS offices???

I recently discovered that NO mail was being picked up by the carriers from a building at the corner of Sutro and W. 42nd Street...it's in an 'updated' mailbox that is installed for the use of the tenants, but a lot of us in the area have also been using it.

Gina can I talk I don’t have a raised hand

white men are nicer than African American men.

Please send your questions, they will be answered in the town hall in the last 30 min

not true L powers

prove it

I’m literally write a book on why and what happen to our men

Hey! I recently reached out to the post to make sure things wouldn't be stuck at their centers. They did state that they are obligated to send all mail out on the day they are received. They are not allowed to hold mail at their centers in any way. So taking your mail to the actual post office may help.

There will be a Q&A at the end and everyone will be given a voice.

Please don’t have provocative exchanges that detract from the presentation. There will be a time to do this after the session. Thanks.

prove me wrong,

can't

THANK YOU!!

LEAVE THIS WHITE;BLK MAN DEBATE OUT OF THIS MEETING.. IT IS IRRELEVANT! THANK YOU!

Please stop the narrative in the chat or we will have to close the chat. Thank you.

The USPS has removed over 700 mail sorters this year; the average number of those machines removed annually from 2015 to 2019 was in the 300s! (That story posted on TheGrio.com this week.) Be ready to camp out at your voting spot, fam!

Hospitals, Healthcare, education and healthy food choices

Thank you 🙏🏾

what's the land use designation of the parking lot?

The chat room is open.

Thank you! This is very inspiring.

great presentation!

thank you Roland!

THANK YOU, MR. WILEY!

Appreciate you Roland

Thank you!!!

Can Roland leave his information in the chat? How can we get the calendar of events/meetings?

This was beautiful

I would like to know what is needed to make it happen: is it money, city approval.. how can we help? Is there fundraising already happening?

Please submit your question via chat or raise your hand and wait to be called on.

Great presentation Roland!!!

is there a projected timeline associated with this master plan?

Thank you! That was very informative and inspiring.

Hi Roland, and thanks for an excellent presentation! I especially love your ending with an image of Martin & Malcolm, and I am sure you are aware of my agency's move to Co-Name Crenshaw into Malcolm X Boulevard, thanks for the Vision!

we need more African people in the conversation

Gina I cant raised my hand 🤚

From: Dr. Robertson

Thanks for sharing this vision!

Excellent presentation.

How will the sale of the mall affect the proposed housing in that area? You also said retail in the mall will be changed forever. Doesn't sound like a good thing.

where is the parking for the Vision Theatre which will have 750 seats plus the employees? Is this parking separate from the other two lots that you want to build on?

I have a question pls - Tracey Brown

the lots are the parking for the theater

I have a question pls

Please type your question in the chat

What can ECWA and our stakeholders do to support getting control of the land?

Thanks Ernest....that is what I thought and thus I am trying to understand the goal for trying to secure and build on those lots when parking for the theatre can't be lost.

what’s been the group’s conversation with MRT?

We have to be mindful of YIMBY at LA Metro & in our legislature that would hurt this vision

theaters do not function as well when parking is not in close proxmity

We need black Entertainers & Ball Players to invest in this public private partnership

How do we get our elected officials on board?

has there been conversation with Supervisor candidates? Wesson and Mitchell?

since the area cover two council districts, what are the current reps have to say about the project?

Are you imagini

The LA County & City plan needs to updates to include this Vision

So is a part of the plan

someone is trying to get in. meeting is lost

raising my hand!

LOCKED

Meeting is unlocked

COVID19 Recovery needs to include this vision in the funding

Can someone unlock the meeting real quick

thanks

Who do we contact if we want to hep?

The meeting is not locked.

Is there a chart of monies needed for all of the various elements that are being sought to be developed in the area: Vision Theatre, the Conference Center, hotel, Destination Crenshaw, etc. On top of it there is the desire to have developers invest in redos/upgrades of the Baldwin Hills shopping center. Each of these and more requires a big dollar investment. For the area do you have an idea what that price tag is?

yes terry unlocked it. thanks

We have to incorporate the arts with all the new technology.

PLEASE let us know how the recording of this amazing meeting can be accessed for people who couldn't make it!

Do folks from this group sit on the COVID19 Recovery Group with Mayor Garetti?

This needs to happen so this can be funded & planed

Hi everyone we are recording this meeting so we can make it accessible to anyone who would like a copy

COVID19 Recovery money can help bring this vision to reality

Let James Burks get his comment/question in, please!

our community has had problems with maintaining cleanliness either the city hasn't done their job or private business hasn't what is our plan to change that ?

You all need some IT support 🥺

Oh that’s me 😂

YIMBY is a danger to this vision and to our communities

Whoot, there it us, Gary! LOL

Are there any form letters or phone scripts available for folks to use when calling to advocate for this project?

We have to stay focused & watch YIMBY

there is building then there is operation, programming, advertising, marketing, staffing and long term economic sustainability, In effect a strategic business plan and business model.

Is there an online petition available for people to sign?

Thank you Roland Wiley for being a leader, our voice, and motivator. my question is what do we do with the homelessness that has a negative impact on our beautification reject. I feel for them but our prosperities and communities are devalued. the tents and old RVs and bus stops homes have taken over but they have no where to live. under the Freeways and street that i do not walk in my community. you also made a comment that if we don’t develop our communities that other cultures will and we all know the Chinese are always doing development projects as they have primarily own Africa and the Lebanese own retail in Africa so LA is next.

COVID19 recovery & opportunity funding is critical

The ELECTEDS are so busy playing political musical chairs, and trying to maintain the spots they have occupied for 20 or more years...with NOTHING SIGNIFICANT being done that benefits the community, in the LONG run!

The Master Plan must be updated

To reflect this vision

@Jacquelyn & Carla: AMEN!

As you talk about the significance of Leimert Park and the Crenshaw Corridor it would be useful to point out that it should include the significant build out that West Angelus did and that includes building housing;. The Lula Washington Dance Theatre is a property owner; The Sentinel on Crenshaw; Angelus Mortuary. The point is that if you acknowledge the takeover of the Crenshaw, Baldwin, View Park, Windsor and Leimert Park Communities from the early 60's this is building upon our push back gainst restrictive covenants and we have held on even with ups and downs. These are existing strong rooted entities as well as those that are in Leimert Park now that have come in new and those that have existed for more than 30 or more years. Don't sell the total story short. This area of investing in Leimert Park can feel anchored and further supported by a long history.....don't leave that out....it is passing the baton in strength not the start of the race.

The Master Plan, COVID19 Recovery & Opportunity Funding, and YIMBY must be mitigated

African people need to be a part of the conversation. James, will you insure that the continent will be included?

The vision must be addressed in planning docs

YES to the petition online...and if there is a designated person to report back to us about the responses/results that we receive from the petition...TALK IS CHEAP, WE NEED TO SEE SOME ACTION, accompanied by REAL commitments from the ELECTEDS???

We need governance & finance to make this vision a reality

IHas an investment program been developed?

Speciifically, ow many parking spaces are allotted for the Vision Theater?

Who is on the Metro Board?

Will the proposed Master Plan require approval by the City of Los Angeles? The USC University

It is about the corridor and the linkages with all the aforementioned. The plan should be inclusive, Think Disney Metrorail, Ben Cadlwell's Cars, e.g. Wakanda effect but for real. The entire corridor is The Village, but connected resources.

We need plans to reflect this vision with dollars

Watch the YIMBY on parking and other sustainability issues that detail our projects

Sankofa City Survey https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfcDAuCgf5YwRx2guArznMIL5KgrUOvAOMn2vyCu6limWYrmQ/viewform

Are dollars attached to the plan?

Thank you, Terry!

The USC University Village began its planning around 2006 and resulted in a $700 Million investment with more than 5 million square. At $700 Million, without any land cost, would this Master Plan cost exceed $1 Billion?

With RAW and Leimert Park Village, Inc., ECWA will upload the recording of this meeting and the PowerPoint on our website: www.ecwandc.org

Is there a pipeline to other private investors, venture capitalists, etc.?

Thank you for the uploads.

COVID19 Recovery & Opportunity Funding is critical. Who is at the table?

GREAT question, Selena.

How are going to address homelessness in the Leimert Park area

How can we view the recorded version of this Zoom call?

How has COVID19 impacted these plans?

you guys been going since 2002 correct ?

Roland or Sherri could you talk a bit about Metro impact unpacking and movement of people in and out of LPV?

Parking without SECURITY is worthless! Addicts, whether housed or not, are a continuing issue in the area...the criminal element is REAL, and a PRESENT danger to those of us who have mobility issues (can't RUN or FIGHT/elderly)

Public budgets have been hit hard by COVID19.

I manage operations for an urban mobility, electric vehicle start-up in Culver City, I would love to help bring this tech to our people in Leimert, if anyone sees this please reach out to me BSmith@EnvoyThere.com

will you share survey with ECWA so we can distribute it ti our neighbors

So has private equity funding

why can’t the Baldwin hills plaza structure be redeveloped experience on the ground floor...housing on top we should be be stressing public or mass transit to the area anywaythe area

Impact of parking is what I meant

Temple I second that emotion

To Michael Banner. Let’s discuss next week the issue of costs.

to all host ... thank you for having African art in your homeThank you for having Afr

Carla EVERYONE'S budget has been negatively impacted by COVID! PERSONAL BUDGETS have been affected...

We need more folks on board

I don't know how to raise my hand, probably no time today but, what do I do next time?

thanks

We need a Master Plan that calls for 99 year leases

Black owned

Che' go to the reactions spot, clik on it and use the raised hand

Local businesses public financing

Metro grants

Thanks so much

i hope that helped...

What a really dope meeting! See y'all here next week, I hope!

Yes, it did. I should have asked earlier. Thanks

California Endowment needs to seed fund

If you want to attract all of the home owners in Leimert, Windsor, Baldwin, View, etc. to participate in the Leimert Park facilities, might need to create shuttle type services that can move people in and out of those areas so that they won't get in their cars but can feel like they can get to the sites. They are not going to pay $100 to a show and walk up and down the hills to get there. Finding some key neighborhood "shuttle" type spots to get back and forth between the Leimert Village hub would make it equally as attractive and viewed as a sustainable footprint. this same shuttle service could also connect to the Wellington Sq, Lafayette Sq areas where we also live and it would allow attracting even wider audiences without the use of their cars. Need this at least until LA's metro system gets even more elaborate.

If you have more questions that have not been answered, please email them to outreach@ecwanndc.org

you don't respond

Thank you all for attending today.

Please sign up for www.leimertparkvillage.org newsletter
