Neighborhood Councils play an advisory role in the Los Angeles municipal government. They gather, vet, debate, and come to a consensus on matters that impact City life and policy, and deliver their official stance on these issues in letters called “Community Impact Statements” (CIS), which are shared with City decision-makers, such as the Mayor, City Council, or City Departments such as City Planning.

Why a CIS matters: A CIS is the official position adopted by a Neighborhood Council board regarding pending city legislation, policy, or budget issues. Unlike individual public comments, a CIS represents the collective, deliberated stance of the neighborhood's stakeholders.

We’re Ready for Rain… Are you?
The “Super” El Niño winter is coming, and we’ve been preparing for it.

From the City of L.A. Sanitation Dept:
Our goal is to avoid flooding the best we can, but when it does happen, we have 24-hour crews ready to dispatch at a moment’s notice. Our Customer Care Center is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year at 1-800-773-2489. Please call us if you notice clogged catch basins or flooding in the public right-of-way.

Do you know how vast the City’s stormwater system is?

Catch Basins: 39,045
Channels: 52
Culverts: 3,151
Debris Basins: 81
Low Flow Structures: 1,098
Stormwater Pumping Plants: 9

LA Sanitation and Environment proactively cleans and maintains all of those structures to help keep stormwater and dry weather runoff flowing freely. Each has a unique identification number to assist with mapping and tracking work orders.

Additionally, our experienced staff maintain over 6,700 miles of sewer pipes, 42 sewage pumping plants, and four water reclamation plants, not to mention all the vehicles, equipment, and technology necessary for these ongoing year-round efforts.

November 11 carries a history of service, peace, and coming together. In honor of Veterans Day, The Play Way invites veterans, neighbors, friends, and friends we haven’t met yet to celebrate the connections that strengthen our communities.

At 11:11, we’ll come together through PLAY—to build bridges and leave a trail of kindness, one playful act at a time.

The Play Way is inviting 30 volunteers to help welcome commuters and share playful acts of kindness at LA Metro PlayDay on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, 11 AM–1 PM. PLAY begins at 11:11 AM.

We are inviting 15 volunteers to each location: Wilshire/Fairfax and Wilshire/La Brea Metro stations.
