For the first time in 70 years, light rail is officially returning to the San Fernando Valley.

Crews broke ground on the East San Fernando Valley Light Rail Transit Project. The Valley currently has only two rail stops. The $3.9 billion line will run 6.7 miles down Van Nuys Boulevard, adding 11 new stations through Pacoima and Panorama City.

Construction is now underway, with passenger trains expected to start rolling by 2032. Once open, it will deliver a clean, reliable alternative to driving across the Valley.

Get ready to honor the spirits with our live music at Councilmember Imelda Padilla’s Día de los Mu***os celebration this Friday, October 30th at the Van Nuys Civic Center, as featured in image.png! We just told our co-hosts at Que Buena, who are broadcasting live on 105.5, 94.3, and 96.1 FM, how hyped we are to bring heavy rhythms to a community event packed with altars, food, and a movie screening. Join us from 4:30 PM to 9:00 PM with your lawn chairs, or tune in to celebrate the Day of the Dead!

Meet Aldi A2283969 and Merlin A2291134

Aldi is a 1.5-year-old spayed female weighing 47 lbs. Aldi is a sweet
and affectionate girl who is easy on the leash, takes treats gently,
has done well in playgroups with other dogs, and enjoys rolling around
in the grass!

Merlin is a 5-year-old neutered male weighing 55 lbs. Merlin is a
super cool dude who enjoys going for walks, exploring his
surroundings, and loves having his butt scratched!

Both dogs are available for adoption at our East Valley Center.

Pets adopted from LA Animal Services join their new families already
spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Adopters also
receive a Petco flyer with discounts to help make their pet adoption a
success, and a VCA Healthy Start Certificate, which provides up to
$250 of follow up veterinary care within the first 14 days of
adoption. In addition, dogs are eligible for free dog training classes
with Paws for Life K9 Rescue at their People & Pet Innovation Center
in Mission Hills, CA. To see more furry friends available to adopt or
foster, go to laanimalservices.com.

The six LA Animal Services Centers are open Tuesday through Friday
from 8am to 5pm and Saturday and Sunday, from 11am to 5pm. Centers are
closed Mondays and City-observed holidays. For more information about
LA Animal Services, visit: laanimalservices.com.October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month!

Learning outside the classroom!
From exploring future skies with Panorama Senior High School & Magnets (Panorama High School) at Van Nuys Airport’s Aviation Career Day, to hands-on lessons in preservation and park management at Los Encinos State Historic Park with Hope (Casa Esperanza).

The Sepulveda Basin is getting a historic upgrade!

This past weekend, alongside Mayor Karen Bass, Asm. Jesse Gabriel, Senator Henry Stern, and hundreds of incredible volunteers, we celebrated a massive milestone: $22 million in Proposition 4 funding secured for the “green jewel” of the San Fernando Valley!

Thanks to our state partners and a unified effort across all levels of government, this funding will directly support:
⚽ Two new soccer fields near the Balboa Sports Complex
🚶‍♀️ Pedestrian safety and mobility improvements along Victory Blvd
🔥 Vital fire risk reduction and vegetation management by LAFD
🗑️ Continued cleanup and illegal dumping removal by the Office of Community Beautification

This builds on our ongoing work with the Mayor’s office to clear dozens of encampments, remove hundreds of tons of trash, and connect unhoused neighbors to housing. With the 2028 Olympic Games coming to the Valley right here at the Basin, we are working hard to ensure our green spaces are safe, beautiful, and thriving for generations to come!

Thank you to every volunteer who showed up this morning to take care of the places we love. 💚

Making a difference at the biggest Valley cleanup! 🌿✨

Thank you to all the amazing volunteers who joined us for the Sepulveda Basin Clean Up. Together with Friends of the LA River we cleared over 900 gallons of trash, cared for our green spaces, and showed what community action is all about.

Let’s keep working together to keep our neighborhoods and natural spaces clean, safe, and beautiful! 💚
